We'll be attending the press night for review and I'm really excited. Even better, I have a family ticket to give away to one of my readers at the end of this post.
The Jungle Book is the story of Mowgli, a boy lost as a baby and raised by wolves in the jungle. Watched over and preyed upon in equal measure, he lives a delicate balance, reliant on his animal friends to keep him safe from the evil tiger, Shere Khan.
The animals teach Mowgli the laws of the jungle and we see him learn to survive and take his place in the pecking order. As he grows and matures, it becomes his turn to defend those who cared for him, and become the protector.
Featuring all of those incredibly well-known names that we learned in childhood (and Scouts!) including Bagheera the panther, Balloo the bear, Kaa the python, and of course the bad guy of the story, the tiger Shere Khan, this reimagined performance has a brand new score and script, which will explore the universal themes of family, belonging and identity.
Written by Jessica Swale, with music by Joe Stilgoe and directed by Max Webster, The Jungle Book promises to be sn amazing performance for all of the family.

ReplyDeleteBears, learning to forage for food, growl properly, hibernate, fish without tackle and "the necessities of life"
ReplyDeleteAn elephant, I love the way they all care for each other & help each other if there are any problems. They are also respectful of their elders.
