Northern Ballet’s heartwarming ballet for children, Tortoise & the Hare, is racing into St George’s
Hall, Bradford on Saturday 11 May.
Tortoise & the Hare is a re-imagining of Aesop’s much-loved fable of a Tortoise who, tired of being
teased for his slowness, challenges a speedy Hare to a race.
Running for approximately 40 minutes, the colourful production has been created especially for
children aged three and above and their families. It is designed as a way for them to experience live
dance, music and theatre together at an affordable price.
Tortoise & the Hare is just one in Northern Ballet’s award-winning series of children’s ballets which
have toured to theatres, schools and community centres across the UK.
Choreographed by former Northern Ballet dancers Dreda Blow and Sebastian Loe, Tortoise & the
Hare premiered in 2015 and was the second children’s ballet by the pair. Their 2012 Ugly Duckling
was later adapted into a BAFTA winning programme for CBeebies. The production includes an
original score composed by Bruno Merz, set designs by Ali Allen and live music performed by
members of the Northern Ballet Sinfonia.
