Blending kitchen sink realism with bold physical sequences, 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?’, it follows three generations of women in the lead up to an act of violence. Rather than centring the perpetrator, the play turns its focus to women’s resilience, humour and solidarity, offering a poetic and unsettling reflection on modern day misogyny.
