Hare vs. Hedgehog: Who will win the exciting race in Lünen?
An exciting adventure for the whole family is about to begin! On July 15, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. the rousing children's play “Hare and Hedgehog” will take place in the Mecklenburg State Theater. The story about Mauli the mole, who is full of indignation at the rabbit's unkind comments about hedgehogs, will captivate children aged 4 and up and their companions. The play lasts about 60 minutes and has no intermission, so that the young audience can eagerly follow the various twists and turns of the plot. The topic of friendship as well as courage and self-confidence is conveyed in a lively way, which is sure to keep the audience engaged for a long time. Information can be found on the theater's homepage Mecklenburg State Theater.
The focus of the story is the rabbit, who has nothing better to do than make fun of hedgehogs. Despite his comments about Hedgehog's physique, which, according to Rabbit, consists of, among other things, a "plague" and "crooked legs", Hedgehog remains calm. But Mauli suggests a race in which the hare insists on winning and gambles on his beet field. However, if the hedgehog wins, the rabbit finally has to be nice. Mauli is convinced that Hedgehog has a chance to win despite the odds and receives support from Little Hedgehog, who will surprise the two friends with her ingenuity. This story will not only stimulate children's funny muscles, but also teach them in a playful way about the importance of true friendship.
