Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear?'
Inspired by the viral question that sparked a global conversation, Man or Bear is a fast-moving, darkly comic new play about fear, friendship and survival. Blending kitchen-sink realism with movement and music, it follows a mother and teenage daughter who seek refuge with a stranger. And then there's the bear.
Funny, fierce and devastating, Man or Bear shines a light on the stories women tell, the friendships they forge and the resilience they summon to survive in an increasingly dangerous world.
'a frank and fierce show fuelled by raw anger...while delicately celebrating the power of female friendship' ★★★★ The Stage
