HARE BRAIN

HARE BRAIN

Does fast and furious or slow and steady win the race?

Hare Brain tackles the age-old dilemma – does fast and furious or slow and steady win the race? Updated to a fantasy world of toy invention, replete with a gurgling think tank that sparks vacuum cleaners, mops, and brushes into a life of their own, Hare Brain tells the tale of Harry and Toulouse who are in a slapstick race against time to find the perfect story that will fit the perfect toy.

Who will it be that tells the final tale? Harry, the stressed-out marketing guru or Toulouse, the considered, gentle storyteller?
