‘The Bear who Wasn’t’ by String Theatre Audiences
The Bear that Wasn’t A curious young cub is accidentally swept into a bustling robot-run factory after being mistaken for a new worker. Struggling to keep up with the mechanical routines, the cub’s playful instincts begin to disrupt the system.
This highly visual story is brought to life through hand carved wooden marionettes, hand-painted sets and original music. Full of humour and striking imagery, the piece explores identity, the resilience of nature, and what happens when imagination meets a world of rules.
The show is inspired by the children’s book (of the same name) by Frank Tashlin. The production is designed to be inclusive, welcoming d/Deaf and hard of hearing audiences, and is available with audio description for blind and partially sighted audiences.
