The White Bear King

My first performance as Artist in Residence  at The Swedenborg Society will be a Christmas performance for children aged 6 and upwards on Saturday 10th December at 2.00pm at Swedenborg Hall.

The White Bear King is a mysterious and magical Scandinavian wonder tale. It has a polar bear and a princess, trickery and trolls, frost and fire. It takes the audience on a snowy journey with the princess, as she bravely travels through ice and snow, up a glass mountain, to set the white bear free. But can the princess undo the terrible Troll Hag’s spell? This story gives you scary shudders, ripples of laughter, and a warm heart.
