Two unlikely friends, the Hare and the Tortoise, meet for the greatest race on earth. A race with a nail-biting, seconds-ticking, medal winning-end, that will determine who is the quickest of all. Ready? Steady? GO!

Enjoy this charming adaptation of Aesop’s fable about friendship, opposites, and the passing of time – a story brimming with fun, live music, unforgettable songs, and delightful characters.

Brought to you by Tutti Frutti, the fabulous people behind our 2023 Christmas show, The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

The real pleasure here is the touchingly drawn friendship between the over excitable Hare and the careful and methodical Tortoise."
