New Writing, Horror

Man or Bear

Man or Bear is a fast-moving, darkly comic new play about fear, friendship and survival inspired by the viral question: Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear? Blending kitchen sink realism, music and bold physical sequences, it follows three generations of women in the lead up to an act of violence. Rather than centreing the perpetrator, the play turns its focus to women's resilience, humour and solidarity, offering a poetic and unsettling reflection on modern day misogyny.
