We’re Going On A Bear Hunt will be performed at the Epstein Theatre in November – transporting young audiences into the magical world created by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury.

The interactive production will be filled with music, laughter, poetry and rhymes, and will take the fun-filled journey through the swishy swashy grass, the splishy splashy river and the squelchy mud – all in search of a bear.

Michael Rosen said: “This production of We’re Going On A Bear Hunt takes everyone on the journey – not under, not over, oh no – through it! – in a funny, exuberant and loving way. It’s a show full of laughter, music, silliness and thrills that I promise you will excite and delight all young children. This is a must-go show.”

Directed by Sally Cookson and with a quirky musical score by Benji Bowler, We’re Going On A Bear Hunt will run between November 13 and November 17.
