Hare and Tortoise

By Brendan Murray

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. 

​

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+.
