Once upon a time that never was, in an England that never existed, ferocious wolves roamed the snow-bound land and travellers carried guns to ward off attacks. But brave Bonnie Green and her orphaned cousin Sylvia have more than wolves to cope with when a sinister new governess, Miss Slighcarp, arrives at Willoughby Chase mansion. And when Bonnie’s parents are reported shipwrecked and drowned, and the girls are banished to a workhouse, the future looks far from bright for our young heroes…
A classic children’s novel of the 1970s, The Wolves of Willoughby Chase - adapted for the stage in 2010 - is a wild and thrilling adventure, combining drama, comedy and a little spookiness.
