Malvern Theatre Players are inviting folks to come down to the riverbank this spring and join in the adventures of Mr Toad "and a host of other loveable characters".

In fact, they are looking for more denizens of the riverbank, especially grown-ups.

A spokesman said: "We are still seeking cast members - mainly adult parts - for our April production to be staged at The Coach House Theatre, Malvern, running from April 4 to April 14.

"If you would like an opportunity to perform in Amelia Marriette’s adaptation of The Wind In The Willows, contact Chris Bassett for further information. 01684 569011 or 0776823574 or by e-mail chrisb_mtp@yahoo.co.uk.

"Rehearsals start soon."
