The Spark Children's Arts Festival - Hare and Tortoise

The stop watch is set; we hear the 'tick, tick, tick'
Are you ready? Are you steady?
Geared up and raring to go, Hare is in training, stood at the starting line, alert... waiting...

Who is the fastest, the best, the most athletic...?

The old clock chimes; we hear 'the tick and the tock'
Slowly does it, taking it easy,
Tortoise is planning his winter hibernation, poised with pen and paper, pondering... resting zzz

Steady as you go, steady as you go...

Meet our two competing friends in this new fantastic adaptation of Aesop's fable; a story about racing, winning, losing, opposites, time and friendship. tutti frutti takes you on a journey through the seasons; from sun-shining spring to snow-falling winter telling this much loved story brimming with ideas, characters, live music and wonderful physicality.

The Hare and Tortoise share with you the greatest race on earth. This show has a nail biting, seconds ticking, medal winning end...

Audience feedback:

"Tutti Frutti have once again created a show that children and accompanying adults alike will adore... It is beautiful to look at, but visually witty too... Both performers should be commended for their physicality and singing."

"Writer, Brendan Murray and Tutti Frutti have transformed the few lines of the fable into an intimate, enchanting and colourful work that will truly delight children over 3 and big kids like myself."

"Tutti Frutti have a growing reputation for excellent quality, physically and musically imaginative children's theatre "- British Theatre Guide

Hare and Tortoise will also be touring to schools in Leicester as part of "At Your School".
