The famous fable where a hare, so sure he's the fastest animal in the wood, challenges a tortoise to a race. The tortoise wins on account of the hare stopping for a nap - thus proving that slow and sure beats fast and unreliable. For everyone over 5. Warm and witty retelling of Aesop's fable, with an important road safety message.

Performers Olivia Carruthers, Paul McCrink, Erika Poole, Kieron Smith, Michael Wynne. Author Aesop. Adapted by Vicky Ireland. Design Tessa Scott. Music Steven Markwick. Lighting Nick Hunt.
