THE HARE IN THE MOON

A new Hoglets play for 2021.

“The Moon has been watching the world since time began. I wonder how many stories it has to tell?”

Have you ever wondered why when the Moon is full, the shadow of a Hare is cast across its face? When a stranger wanders into the woods all the animals try to help them. But Hare has no gift to give. How far will she go to make another happy?

Hoglets Theatre will take you on a magical journey, exploring the true meaning of kindness using interactive storytelling, puppetry and live music.

Suitable for children aged 3-11 years old.

Running time: approx 30 minutes
