Overview
A Kitchen Zoo Production in association with Northern Stage
Directed by Bob Nicholson
The Three Bears
Deep in the forest Mammy, Daddy and Baby Bear are preparing for winter and, of course, Christmas. Each day the Three Bears head into the woods to collect interesting things to re-use for their home. As winter arrives their cosy house is turned upside down by a colourful whirlwind that threatens to sit in their chairs, eat their porridge and sleep in their beds. It’s Goldilocks!
So bring your bears and join us for a winter adventure in the woods with original music, puppets and a tale you thought you knew.
Age Guidance: Under 5s
