Polar Bear & Penguin
Sydney Opera House presents
Polar Bear & Penguin

20 Apr 2024 to 24 Apr 2024

Arriving direct from Ireland, Polar Bear & Penguin, a charming play for young audiences written and performed by John Currivan & Paul Curley.

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, getting to know one another and learning how 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 and relevant play for young audiences to life. Award-winning director Ian Cameron (White) joins the team along with designers Ger Clancy and Sarah Jane Shiels and composer Denis Clohessy. 

Polar Bear & Penguin is a tale of our time, infused with humour, friendship and fish. 

Sydney Opera House Presents Polar Bear & Penguin, originally developed by Paul Curley & Draíocht with the support of The Arts Council YPCE Project Award & Meitheal CPS, a Branar Initiative and is presented with the support of Culture Ireland.
