There's a Bear on My Chair tickets
About There's a Bear on My Chair
They’re a mischievous pair, are the mouse and the bear… pull up a seat for puppets aplenty and lots of laughs as Ross Collins’ books come alive on stage.
Poor Mouse! A Bear has settled in his favourite chair and it isn’t big enough to share.
Mouse tries all kinds of tactics to move the pesky Bear, but nothing seems to work. Before long, the tables are turned, and Bear finds himself with an unwelcome guest of his own … the cheeky Mouse won’t leave his house!
In this visually enchanting stage adaptation of Ross Collins’ much-loved books, which are bursting with character and invention, puppeteer Toby Olié (Spirited Away, Animal Farm and War Horse) brings Bear and Mouse to life with the magic of puppetry.
Returning to the Southbank Centre this Christmas, There’s a Bear on My Chair is the perfect festive treat for families – a heartwarming, funny and enchanting theatrical experience for children and grown-ups to treasure together.
Based on the books There’s a Bear on My Chair and There’s a Mouse in My House by Ross Collins, licensed by Nosy Crow Limited and adapted for stage and directed by Toby Olié.
Presented by Fuel in association with the Southbank Centre.
