Claire Morgan is Kit in BBC Radio 4’s The Wind in the Willows: A Weasel’s Tale
Claire Morgan voices Kit in The Wind in the Willows: A Weasel’s Tale, a new Drama on 4 production for BBC Radio 4, broadcasting on Sunday 16 November at 3 pm. The play is described as Kenneth Grahame’s classic reimagined from the margins and is narrated by Penelope Wilton.
Written by Tom Morton Smith, the drama brings a fresh angle to the world of Mole, Ratty, Toad and Badger, shifting attention to the figures who usually linger at the edge of the original tale. Morton Smith is a British playwright and screenwriter whose work includes the award winning stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbour Totoro for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
As Kit, Claire adds sharp character detail to this new perspective on life along the riverbank, balancing humour, heart and a sense of danger in the Wild Wood. The role sits neatly alongside her wider audio work, showcasing the clarity, warmth and control that make her a strong fit for complex ensemble storytelling.
The production continues the long life of The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame’s 1908 children’s novel that has become a staple of British literature and has inspired multiple adaptations for stage, screen and audio.
The Wind in the Willows: A Weasel’s Tale is broadcast as Drama on 4 on BBC Radio 4 on Sunday 16 November at 3 pm.
