Nearly 35 years later, it has not lost any of its relevance in its dissection of the American dream and its ideal that anyone can reach the top if they have enough wits, guts and determination.
REVIEW: F*ck The Polar Bears, Bush Theatre ✭✭
It feels like a farce as it plays out. Yet, it is described as “a raucous family drama about the cost of living the life of our dreams”. Bizarre and incomprehensible things happen to the characters and their domain, but mainly they are not played for laughs. The acting style, for the most part, tends to realism, even though the situation is not realistic. There is such earnestness about the acting that the laughs are few and restrained, and it is difficult to be absorbed in the narrative.
