On The Bear

“The final performance, The Bear, was brilliantly created by director Sarah Giles. Annie Maynard was gorgeous and hilarious as the mourning widow, Berynn Schwerdt gave a commanding comical performance.” AUSSIE THEATRE

“… the final piece The Bear is an hilarious battle of the sexes that deservedly had the audience wailing with laughter and applauding the performances of Berynn Schwerdt and Annie Maynard.” VERTIGO

“Annie Maynard and Berryn Schwerdt sparkle and satisfy as the dueling George-and-Martha-type couple in “The Bear”, under Sarah Giles’s direction.” THEATRE AUSTRALIA
