What if the story of The Three Little Pigs did not happen exactly the way the pigs said it did? What if all the Wolf wanted was to borrow a cup of sugar? And what, exactly, does happen to the frog-lipped Prince after the big kiss?

Will Tuckett brings The Wind in the Willows to life through action, dance, song, music and puppetry. This colourful and witty re-creation of the story was originally commissioned by the Royal Opera House and enjoyed four highly successful runs in the Linbury Studio Theatre. The production will transfer to the West End for an eight week run at the Duchess Theatre in December 2013.

Quintessence Theatre Group proudly announces its fourth season of classic plays remixed for the contemporary stage: HAMLET, SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER, THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS, and MOURNING BECOMES ELECTRA. Each play is a masterwork, pushing the limits of the theatrical art form through poetry, passion and spectacle. In partnership with its diverse audience, built over three years of visceral, actor and text driven progressive classics, Quintessence hopes to further ignite the Philadelphia theatre scene through the essential and complex art of adapting the classics for the contemporary stage.
