Raymond Briggs' The Bear adapted for the stage by Pins and Needles Productions

about the production

One night when she's fast asleep, an enormous snowy white bear climbs into Tilly's bedroom. It has a big black tongue and a yawn as big as your head, but Tilly's not scared. With dazzling puppetry, delicious music, dreamy storytelling, and dozens of laughs. The Bear is an unforgettable experience for the whole family and a perfect introduction to theatre for little people. So bring a bear, and join Tilly on a wild and magical adventure. Creative Team: Puppet Director Finn Caldwell, Puppet Designer Sam Wyer, Composer Lucy Rivers, Designer Zoe Squire, Director Emma Earle.
