mtp is currently in negotiation to acquire the rights to create
a new touring production based on Jan Needle's novel:

Wild Wood
     "Wild Wood is a re-telling of events in Kenneth Grahame's 'The Wind in the Willows', but from a totally different viewpoint. The story is narrated by the unassuming Baxter Ferret, who lives in the Wild Wood and is happy to spend the day tinkering with motor cars. His way of life changes abruptly following the arrival of a charismatic newcomer and social activist, Boddington Stoat, who encourages the downtrodden Wild Wooders to organise themselves into a formidable fighting force. Encouraged by his sister Dolly, who is smitten with Boddington, Baxter is gradually drawn into the battle between the Wild Wooders and the rich Riverbankers. Although gentle and humorous, this is also a thought-provoking account of class warfare and injustice."
