Ever wondered what it would be like to sit on a polar bear’s lap? Or ride on its back? Have you ever tried to give a bear a bath?
Probably not. But now you can spend some quality time with an enormous snowy white bear at Leeds Playhouse when Raymond Briggs’ magical story The Bear is brought to life on the Courtyard stage.
One night when Tilly is fast asleep, a huge bear climbs into her bedroom. It has a long black tongue and a yawn as big as her head. But, still, she’s not scared.
The Bear is a heart-warming, humorous tale from the team that brought young theatregoers the hugely successful Father Christmas. Pins and Needles Productions are delighted to be sharing another of Raymond Briggs’ much-loved storybooks, including dazzling puppetry, unforgettable music, dreamy storytelling, and more laughs than there are penguins in Antarctica (i.e. a lot).
The Bear is a not-to-be-missed experience for the whole family and a perfect introduction to theatre for little people with big imaginations.
So, why not bring your very best bear to Leeds Playhouse and join Tilly and her great big white friend on a wild and magical adventure.
