“There’s a world outside and I want to see it!”
Mole has been stuck inside for far too long. Finally escaping their underground home they team up with good friends Ratty, Badger and the loveably roguish Toad on an adventure to blow away the winter cobwebs. Mole and the gang must go head-to-head with a motor-car, His Majesty’s Constabulary and a legion of Weasels, Ferrets and Stoats taking up residence in Toad Hall. Can our plucky band of heroes save the day?

About Paperback Theatre
Paperback Theatre is a West Midlands-based company passionate about telling the stories that matter. Their work is playful, challenging, and created for as wide an audience as possible.
Formed in 2016, they first made their mark with satirical shows like We Need to Talk about Bobby (off Eastenders) (4 Stars from Broadway Baby)and Me and My Doll (5 Stars from Bum On A Seat), which toured fringe venues nationally to great acclaim.
In the summer of 202 Paperback created their own socially-distanced festival, Little but LIVE!, and produced their first outdoor theatre show. That’s where their passion for family-friendly, accessible work really took shape – performances designed for everyone to enjoy, staged in non-traditional spaces like local parks. And amphitheatres.
What if it rains?
Most performances go ahead rain or shine! But please note the following:-
If it’s raining at the start time, we’ll forge ahead in the hope that the rain will clear up soon. It will have to be raining very hard indeed (with thunder!) for the start to be delayed.
If conditions become genuinely unsafe, for example if the performance space is flooded or there is a lightning storm, we will stop the show.
Light to heavy-ish rain won’t put us off, but if rain is torrential (and the audience can’t hear the performance) we will stop the show until the rain clears sufficiently for us to continue.
If we can’t go ahead due to the weather, we will transfer your tickets to another performance or refund your ticket money. If we get through most of the performance and then have to stop because of heavy rain, we’ll transfer your tickets to a different performance.
