We're going to the theatre
We're going on a Bear Hunt
What a beautiful play!
We're not scared...

We're Going On A Bear Hunt follows a family's excitement as they wade, splash and squelch through a variety of imaginative environments in search of a bear. Director Sally Cookson describes the production as being a “celebration of play”, thus, along with designer Katie Sykes, they decided that the stage set design should utilise a host of everyday objects and materials in order to draw young audiences into this thrilling, imaginary world.

Author of over 140 books, Michael Rosen has enjoyed a successfully diverse career as writer, poet and broadcaster. Filled with rhythm, repetition and onomatopoeia, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt has been praised for its ability to engage and entertain young children of all learning abilities.

This production is suitable for children aged three and over.
