Lightwire Theatre presents Aesop’s classic fable, The Adventures of the Tortoise and the Hare, where the “slow and steady” Tortoise defeats the nimble but overconfident Hare. This production continues the story 10 years after the race, with the two opponents now raising children of their own and exploring modern-day distractions. Smartphones and video games create a new landscape of lost connections to life experiences.
The Next Gen features Tortoise Junior and Lil’ Hare in a whole new kind of race, with adventures that lead them into unexpected territory. Old Man Tortoise and Big Daddy Hare must come together despite their differences to find and save their children. What hurdles will they have to overcome to make it to the finish line?
With dazzling visuals, poignant storytelling, and creative use of music from classical to pop, this production brings the classic tale into a new light.
