Haste ye back
Wee Stories are simply great. With just two performers, Deborah Arnott and Virginia Radcliffe, they bring humour, energy, music and charm to Aesop’s timely fable of less haste, more speed (despite the maxim always
sounding a bit daft).
A bright red pair of kids’ tights on the head announces Hare and a plastic washing basket on the back, Tortoise. Their banter warms things up with chants of: ‘Hare will be there! Yeah ! Yeah! Yeah!’ and: ‘Go Tortoise go! Don’t be slow!’ getting the audience on side for the climactic show down.
The show is cleverly devised to draw kids of different ages in by mixing nursery rhymes, pantomime — ‘He’s behind you!’ style gags — music, song and wit together for a fast paced piece of theatre (although Tortoise is allowed to lollop around to some bluesy soul for a while). Arnott and Radcliffe turn at times into two wonderfully gossipy, posh ladies, spectating on the race for a spot of colour.
Playing to a packed house at Edinburgh’s new North Edinburgh Arts Centre, their zest for the characters and story is infectious and everyone leaves with a spring in their step. (Ruth Hedges)
