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 centering the perpetrator, the play turns its focus to women’s resilience, humour and solidarity, offering a poetic and unsettling reflection on modern day misogyny.
