Get set for a theatrical treat as we unveil our touring team for the upcoming production, Hare and Tortoise!
We are thrilled to introduce the talented actors who will bring Aesop’s timeless fable to life in a vibrant and energetic show designed to delight families and children aged 3+.
Prepare to meet two unlikely friends – the speedy, confident Hare and the calm, steady Tortoise – as they embark on the greatest race on Earth! This playful and imaginative adaptation is packed with suspense, surprises, and a nail-biting, medal-winning finish.
Our story unfolds across the changing seasons, from the blossoming days of spring, through the sun-filled fun of summer, to the icy sparkle of winter. Guided by our very own storyteller, this heartwarming tale beautifully explores themes of patience, friendship, and the journey of growing up.
Ready… Steady… Is it time to GO?
Hare and Tortoise will be touring to theatres and schools starting in autumn 2025, first across the UK and then heading to the USA! If you’re interested in bringing this production to your venue, please get in touch with Kirsty at kirsty@tutti-frutti.org.uk.
