We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, the perfect theatrical outing for any young family is coming to the Brindley Theatre, Runcorn on 1 and 2 July, direct from smash-hit West End and international tours.
The show features music, laughter, songs, rhythms, rhymes and repetitions are guaranteed together with puppetry, paints, water and mud…not to mention a bear -we’re not scared!
Sally Cookson’s hugely inventive production set to Benji Bower’s quirky musical score is a mischievous celebration of play, utilising everyday objects and materials, to capture the imagination and catapult young audiences into the world of Michael Rosen and illustrator Helen Oxenbury’s much loved picture book.
Join our intrepid family of adventurers and their musical dog through the swishy swashy grass, the splishy splashy river and the squelchy mud, in search of a bear. Expect plenty of fun-filled interaction and a few surprises along the way.
