Listen to the Wind

by Vivian Ellis

was performed by the children of Tavistock County Primary School at The Wharf, Tavistock, Devon on 19th to 21st March 1997

An adaptation by Anthony Wates and Rachel Goddard of Vivian Ellis's 1956 children's musical

Unlike the Christmas 1996 revival at the King's Head Theatre, Islington, which had new music written by the composer shortly before he died, this version presented the original music but in a new production.

While the original 1956 version featured a cast of both adults and children, this new one had a cast entirely made up of children aged 7-11 from the school.

Two scenes from the final dress rehearsal:
