Tutti Frutti Productions | Hare and Tortoise

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- the excitable Hare or the wise Tortoise.

Ready?  Steady? Is it time to GO?!

The story bursts to life in sunny spring, moves through a playful summer, and concludes in the snowy frost of winter! Enjoy this charming adaptation of Aesop’s fable about friendship, opposites, and growing up.

Tutti Frutti Productions brings you this much-loved story brimming with fun, live music, unforgettable songs, and delightful characters, who learn that slow and steady wins the race.

Tutti Frutti Productions from Leeds, England, has been creating imaginative, visual, and meaningful story-based theatre for children for over thirty years. They specialize in bringing fantastic, distinctive, and carefully crafted shows to children aged 3+ and their families and teachers across the UK and the world.
