Welcome to Pursued by a Bear’s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Autumn 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our next production and tour will be the latest play by Anna Reynolds The Matilda Effect<\/a> following the success of Nothing on Earth<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re reliant on funding to make this possible – please support us if you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in hosing a performance this Autumn do drop us a line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pursued by a Bear is an award winning theatre and digital film producer. We are Company in Residence at Trestle Arts Base <\/a>in St Albans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We produce new writing by some of the UK\u2019s most distinctive voices. Much of our work is global in setting and scope (our last four productions were set variously in India, Russia, Africa and between the UK and the USA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Founded in 1998, we have commissioned and produced over 17 new pieces for UK tour as well as a feature length film in 2012 and numerous short films made in educational \/ participatory settings. We have run script writing workshops and offered bespoke dramaturgical support to professional playwrights as well as emerging talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We work with award winning designers, choreographers and film makers to create a striking and unforgettable theatre experience. Our work is atmospheric, thought provoking and passionate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2017 our American co-producers \u2013 Tiny Dynamite<\/a> \u2013 led the US transfer of The Lamellar Project by Grant Watson. The show was re-conceived for a Philadelphia audience and re-named Perfect Blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Autumn 2017 Rosamunde Hutt became the company\u2019s fourth Artistic Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are delighted to have produced Anna Reynolds’ breath-taking play Nothing on Earth<\/a> in March 2023. Thanks to Arts Council England for the essential funding enabling this long-held ambition to happen. You can fly into the world of Nothing on Earth through our short films<\/a> from the lockdown era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In December 20023 we presented the publication by Aurora Metro Press<\/a> of Anna Reynolds’ Nothing on Earth<\/strong>. Copies available from Aurora Metro directly or from Pursued by a Bear upon enquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As with most of our projects The Nothing on Earth world includes films as well as live theatre.
