Artist Support - Polar Bear & Penguin

The tale of an unlikely encounter between a Polar Bear and a Penguin. This is the story of polar opposite characters meeting for the first time, how they get to know one another and how they learn to survive in a world that is melting beneath their feet ... paws ... flippers.

Paul Curley (THE DIG and Bake!) and John Currivan (The Bockety World of Henry & Bucket), bring this quirky new theatre play for young audiences to life.

International director Ian Cameron joins the team along with designer Ger Clancy & Sarah Jane Shiels and composer Denis Clohessy.

Polar Bear & Penguin is a tale of our time, infused with Humour, Friendship and Fish.
