  By William Shakespeare and Pan Pan.

• Achoimre

  In this version of The Winter’s Tale – retold from the perspective of the bear – Leontes’ best friend, then his son, then his wife, slip beyond the level of his dreams. Leontes banishes what he believes to be his bastard daughter in despair, at which point Shakespeare brings the play to a screeching halt . . . but it’s only Act Three. Rewinding and replaying the same scenes again, requiring an audience willing to be led beyond the usual limits of encounter, Exit, Pursued by a Bear asks whether restoration or resolution can take place in a world of dreams, seeking answers beyond language in Shakespeare’s gestures towards movement, repetition and the transgression of boundaries.
