Theatre’s entertaining chase

Oct 13 2009 by Our Correspondent, Perthshire Advertiser Tuesday

HARE and Tortoise come racing into town on Friday on their dash all over Scotland this autumn, stopping at theatres, village halls and community venues to delight children with their fast, funny and innovative take on Aesop’s legendary chase.

From the creative team behind Molly Whuppie, Heelie-go-Leerie, Magic Spaghetti, Green Whale, and Wee Witches: The Hare and the Tortoise is adapted by Virginia Radcliffe and Deborah Arnott, and produced by one of Scotland’s most popular children’s theatre companies, Licketyspit, for all children aged three-plus, plus friends and families.

This highly energetic, inter-active 60-minute theatre show entertains with catchy songs, bold design, poetry and puppetry.

Young theatre-goers can catch The Hare and the Tortoise in Perth Theatre on Friday at 2pm. For tickets, contact Horsecross Box Office on 01738 621 031 or visit www.horsecross.co.uk.
