Don't Poke the Bear
The Key Theatre
Max is an obedient bear who has lived all his life in the circus. Between the glory of the limelight and the darkness of the backstage, he reveals the cruelty of his master Harvey and the suffering of Tina, the star of the show whom he secretly loves.
When Tina's despair pushes her to rebel on stage, the three are led to their last act and to the inevitable end.
A non-verbal puppetry play about dreams, nightmares and broken hopes.
