Written and directed by Michelle McTernan

With original songs by Michelle McTernan, Steve Balsamo, and John Quirk

Grand Ambition's new family show, written and directed by Michelle McTernan, is a heart-warming and endearing story of loss, healing and hope.
With exquisite puppetry, magical animation, and joyful original songs, written and composed by Michelle McTernan, Steve Balsamo and John Quirk, HOP - The Hopeful Hare, plants the seeds of courage to forgive and the strength to be kind to ourselves and each other.

It's springtime, and Grandpa busies himself in his garden - once tended with his wife and his now estranged son. Life grows in every corner - rows of potatoes, carrots, and cabbages, a cherished rose bush, and an enchanting tree. When crops start to disappear overnight, Grandpa is determined to catch the culprit. It is not the birds, slugs or snails, not a fox, or a bear, but the mischievous HOP, a tiny hare with a huge heart and an even bigger appetite!
Grandpa is guided by HOP's gentle mischief and slowly learns that the garden he protects can be a home to others, and that hope and happiness can come in the most unexpected way. HOP celebrates memories, hope, kindness, strength and the courage to forgive.

This production deals with themes of loss and grief.

Suitable for school audiences &amp; recommended for age 4 and above.

This Grand Ambition production is inclusive, with integrated BSL.

Funded by Swansea City Council and Arts Council of Wales. Produced in partnership with Harry's Fund &amp; Joseph's Smile.
