There’s a Bear on My Chair

Poor Mouse! A Bear has settled in his favourite chair and it just isn’t big enough to share. 

Mouse tries all kinds of tactics to move the pesky Bear but nothing seems to work. However, it isn’t long until the tables are turned and Bear finds himself with an unwelcome guest – the cheeky Mouse won’t leave his house!

In this first ever stage adaptation of Ross Collins’ much-loved books, Toby Olié (Spirited Away, Animal Farm, War Horse) brings Bear and Mouse to life through loveable, life-sized puppets. Enter the mischievous world of Bear and Mouse for a show packed with laughs and surprises. The world premiere production will be presented as part of the Southbank Centre’s flagship Imagine Children’s Festival, the UK’s leading arts festival for children aged 0-11 and their grown-ups.
