One the Bear, presented by the La Boite Theatre Company and written by Candy Bowers, is a production that aims to explore the themes of identity, friendship, exploitation and cultural appropriation. The production also emphasises the grim reality that is the discrimination and oppression minorities experience, due to the inability of others to accept the differences within these groups of people.

In the opening scene of the show, audiences are transported to an alternate universe, and introduced to the two main characters, One and Ursula, brown bear best-friends that spend their days avoiding being captured by the Hunters and harvested for their bile.…
