When Jeremy comes home from school one day, there’s a surprise visitor waiting for him. He’s there in Sonya’s new middle-school cafeteria as well. A fuzzy, friendly face from the woods beyond; a half-remembered dream of childhood.
The Apocalypse Bear has come to visit.
He’s here to talk and to listen. He’s here for fun and for care. He’s here to play and to pretend.
He’s here to show you who you really, truly are.
The Apocalypse Bear Trilogy is a brilliantly surreal comic nightmare of middle-class suburbia from acclaimed Australian playwright Lally Katz, which takes a look at the moments in life when we suddenly feel like frightened, lost children again.
The Apocalypse Bear Trilogy was presented by No Such Theatre at the Jack Studio Theatre in July of 2023.

Christensen directs with clarity, holding up a lamp so that you can find your own way through the weirdness rather than leading you towards a view that would be more his than yours.
[His] vision is supported by a powerfully evocative soundscape (composed by him)...
British Theatre Guide
Intriguingly odd [and] grippingly cringe-inducing.
A vision of the world in which nothing gets better, only more itself...
