There’s a Bear in my Chair
In this first ever stage adaptation of Ross Collins’ much-loved books, Toby Olié (Spirited Away, Animal Farm, War Horse) brings Bear and Mouse to life through loveable, life-sized puppets. Enter the mischievous world of Bear and Mouse for a show packed with laughs and surprises. The world premiere production will be presented as part of the Southbank Centre’s flagship Imagine Children’s Festival, the UK’s leading arts festival for children aged 0-11 and their grown-ups.
Workshops will include sensory and puppetry workshops for children and their grown-ups, to build relationships with others and discover storytelling. Children will meet the main characters of the performance and have the chance to make their own puppet.
