POPULAR Warrington youth theatre group CODYS are to return to the stage next month.
They will perform a musical adaptation of the classic story The Wind in the Willows for their next production at The Brindley in Runcorn.
The musical follows the characters of Toad, Mole, Ratty and Badger as they embark on a series of misadventures caused by Toad's need for speed.
Toad is imprisoned for theft and must escape to defend his home from the Wild Wooders.
With the help of Mr Badger, the old boxing champion, the characters fight the Weasels to recapture Toad Hall.
CODYS has been running for nearly 30 years and led to several performers from the area going on to work professionally within the industry.
CODYS are determined to rise to the challenge and continue its legacy of producing first-class shows after almost 30 years.
The group has achieved a lot of success since facing challenges following Covid. They have recently performed a musical review with fellow am dram Encore Productions, achieved success with ‘Footloose’ and raised more than £1,500 from a sponsored Danceathon.
Wind in the Willows runs from Thursday, September 5 to Saturday, September 7 at the Brindley Theate, Runcorn.
Shows start at 7.30pm with a 2pm Saturday matinee
Tickets available at the Brindley box office on 0151 907 8360 or online at www.the Brindley.org.uk
