About the show

A widow swears eternal devotion to her late husband – until an irate, blustering creditor arrives demanding repayment of a debt. What begins as just an impolite visitation erupts into a ferocious battle of wills, wits and wildly inconvenient desire. Slammed doors, smashed furniture and loaded pistols give way to something even more fierce: love, as a duel of honour spirals into a reckless courtship neither combatant can truly control. EGTG's energetic, fast-paced, destructive rendition of Chekhov’s comedy farce: The Bear revels in the thin line between loathing and longing – and the thrill of crossing it!
