Bear Trap is an innovative theatre company producing dynamic new work. Formed by graduates of East 15’s acclaimed Contemporary Theatre course, Bear Trap works with new writing and devising to bring you bold new work, interrogating real drama through classical story telling, visual flare and musical vigour.

BOUND is entirely written, directed and performed by the company in consultation with working Trawler men. This tragic comedy will mark Bound Trap's first professional outing since inception.

“An original, dynamic piece of theatrical story telling…visceral and intense” Royal Court’s April De Angelis

The show is set on the south Devon fishing port of Brixham. Compelled by the threat of bankruptcy, fishing trawler 'The Violet' and its mismatched crew are forced out into treacherous weather. Competing against the overpowering force of nature, the tribulations of life with the opposite sex and each other's egos. Will they lose more than a way of life? The new bracingly physical show from Bear Trap Theatre Company.

Six actors, five chairs, one table and an ocean. Bound.
