The Hare and the Tortoise – a timeless tale with a fresh twist
Two unlikely friends — the speedy, confident Hare and the calm, steady Tortoise — meet for the greatest race on Earth. A race filled with suspense, surprises, and a nail-biting, medal-winning finish. Ready… Steady… Is it time to GO? This playful and imaginative adaptation of Aesop’s classic fable is brought to life on stage in a vibrant performance. With three talented actors, musicians and a whole lot of energy, the story unfolds across the seasons — from the blossoming days of spring, through the fun of summer, to the icy sparkle of winter.
Guided by our storyteller, this heartwarming tale explores patience, friendship, and what it means to grow up. Tutti Frutti Productions brings you this much-loved story brimming with fun, live music, unforgettable songs, and delightful characters. Hare and the Tortoise is touring autumn 2025, bringing joy to families and children aged 3+.
