Guardian review of THE BEAR at Polka Theatre

Children's Books

The Guardian recently gave an adaptation of Raymond Briggs’ The Bear, currently playing at the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon a wonderful review.

“Every moment is lavished with care, and even the scene changes – played out on Zoe Squire’s detailed but agile set – feel like a game designed with children in mind.”

“Directors Emma Earle and Hal Chambers’s sumptuous production is wonderfully whimsical, yet relatable. All of the magical touches are grounded in an everyday reality that the kids can understand.”

“Watch out War Horse: this is one of the most gorgeous puppets I’ve ever seen.”

The Bear plays at the Polka Theatre until 8th November and then transfers to The Albany from 7th December-3rd January. Tickets for the Polka performances can be bought here, and for The Albany here.
