The Northern Echo: This production will propel audiences into the world of Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury’s much

Be prepared to wade through the swishy swashy grass, the splishy splashy river and the thick oozy squelchy mud when We’re Going On A Bear Hunt visits Newcastle.

Music, laughter, rhymes, rhythms and repetitions together with puppetry, paint, water and mud make this fun-filled adventure the perfect theatrical outing for all young families.

Sally Cookson’s hugely inventive production set to Benji Bower’s lively musical score is a mischievous celebration of play, utilising everyday objects and materials to capture the imagination of audiences and propel them into the world of Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury’s much loved picture book.

Michael Rosen said: ''This production of We're Going on a Bear Hunt takes everyone on the journey in a funny, exuberant, and loving way. It's a show full of laughter, music, silliness, and thrills that I promise will excite and delight all young children.”
