The Wind in the Willows 

Dir. Millie Holland at the Geoffrey Whitworth Theatre

In 2023 I directed my first show, The Wind in the Willows with the Geoffrey Whitworth Theatre's Youth Group, whom I lead. We had a late 60s hippy aesthetic to the story and used a lot of great music from the time. I also created the duck puppets and some of the costume elements, including the animal ears.

The ducks head was 3D modelled and the rest of the pupet was constructed of plasterzote.
