Episode 2 - Featuring In The Willows
IN THE WILLOWS transposes Kenneth Grahame’s animal fable to an urban British comprehensive school ‘The Willows’. It’s Mole’s first day and she is taken under the wing of hip-hop cool girl Rattie, her boyfriend Otter and the bling laden, rich-kid rapper Toad. A series of adventures ensue in which Mole learns both how to make friends and how to lose them - but ultimately how to find her voice and finally speak up about her troubled past.

Special Guest: Alexia McIntosh
