The Bush Theatre hosts the world premiere of Tanya Ronder’s funny and surreal new family drama about the power of the individual in a world obscured by politics.

F*ck The Polar Bears tells the story of Gordon, who has worked hard to get where he is. He’s on the verge of a massive promotion at one of the Big Six energy companies. His wife Serena has worked hard too and now dreams of a bigger house, a slimmer body and a happier life.

But behind their perfect front door, light bulbs are blowing, the drains keep blocking and a phone inexplicably refuses to charge. As Gordon chases the spectres behind these mysterious events, he spirals out of control and the family is forced to ask whether the life they desire is worth its cost.
