4. Hare & Tortoise
A Whimsical Take on Aesop’s Classic
When Speed Meets Steady: The Hare & Tortoise Race Reimagined
Imagine a drama pit where the legendary Hare and Tortoise turn from comic fable to frenemies, each boasting strengths that could put any superhero to shame. Speedy Harri leans on lightning-fast moves, while steady Tatta gets the steady groove—together, they race against time, and against each other.
Staged by the Singapore Repertory Theatre, this production brings a modern twist to the age‑old tale. Instead of a one‑speed loser, we find two heroes who learn to respect each other’s quirks and push each other to win—so you’ll laugh, maybe cry a little, and leave with a fresh perspective on teamwork.
Key Highlights
- Fast‑paced action with a dash of wit.
- Dynamic dialogue that showcases the frenemy drama.
- Light‑hearted exploration of how speed and steadiness can collide and collaborate.
- Vibrant stage directions that paint a picture of a race both simple and wildly elaborate.
Why settle for the old version where the hare snoozes? This is a race to the finish line—technically and metaphorically—and everyone gets a silver medal of sorts. Spoiler: Honesty, respect, and a shared gumshoe budget win the day.
Catch the performance until Nov 20, 2022 and discover whether Harri finally keeps pace—and maybe learn how a tortoise can get there at dinner! Learn more from the Singapore Repertory Theatre.
