THE HARE IN THE MOON
An original Hoglets play, based on a Buddhist folk tale.
“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.
Aimed at primary and pre-school aged children
Running time approx 30 minutes.
Written and Performed by Gemma Curry
Songs and Music by Andy Curry
Special thanks to: Fiona Burton, Jo Killeya and all at Yorkshire Museums Trust, Rural Arts Yorkshire, Helmsley Arts Centre, Onceupona Children’s Theatre festival, Francis Postlethwaite and all at York Explore Libraries, Judith Hope – puppeteer, Little Angels Theatre
