PEACE AT LAST

Mr Bear is desperately trying to get to sleep but is kept awake by the varying sounds of the night: Mrs Bear snoring, Baby Bear playing, a dripping tap, a clock ticking, an owl hooting…will he ever get any rest?!

Inspired by Jill Murphy’s enduringly popular book, Peace At Last is performed by three singers, harp and woodwind. Suitable for children aged 3-5, families and any adult with a sense of fun and wonder.

Peace At Last toured to over 60 primary schools and studio theatres across the UK in 2019 to great acclaim from teachers, children and parents:
