More Than Simply Messing About In Boats..."

Heartbreak Productions are flying full pelt into the summer season with a brand new adaptation of THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS.
Book now for your tickets as the production will be outdoors on the Mount in Alderton, near Towcester.
Not just the usual tales of the riverbank, audiences will be welcomed into a setting of late Edwardian England flying machines and invited to join air crew mechanics as they cast off their brown coats, take on the mantle of Toad, Ratty, Mole and Badger and begin to recount this well-loved classic tale.
Wild woods, winding lanes, high jinks, increasingly ill-advised modes of transport and a chase sequence to rival the Keystone Cops, provide just some of the enchanting and entertaining backdrop to the shenanigans at Toad Hall.
This brand new adaptation by Fergus Durrant promises to retain the story’s timeless quality yet add a little of the extraordinary.
The production’s director, Marie McCarthy explains,
“Fergus has captured the poetic spirit of novel beautifully: it is lyrical and evocative but he has incorporated a style that is high energy, visually exciting and brilliantly comedic. We’re really excited about the show - it’s definitely one for all ages!”
With an astonishing combination of inventive props, ingenious set, creative costume and a specially composed score played live by the "Boogle Band", Heartbreak’s production of THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS is set to become this summer’s “must-see” for all the family.
Hop on down and join the crew on their outlandish adventures – landing at a The Mount in Alderton just a few miles from Towcester.
There will be Friday evening performance and for the first time a Saturday Matinee on 10th and 11th July - a weekend before most local schools break up.
