They do not make a happy pair, a mouse and bear with just one 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 unforgettable puppetry.
