THE JUNGLE BOOK
Rudyard Kipling
ON TOUR MID JANUARY 2008 – MID DECEMBER 2008
 

Set in the vibrant tropical jungle of India and adapted from the original Rudyard Kipling story this production brings to life the journey to maturity of Mowgli the man cub. With loving care from his adopted wolf family and much advice from Bagheera the panther, Mowgli stands firm against the evil manipulation of Shere Khan the tiger. This production with its underlying theme of the importance of the rule of law is full of fascinating characters and has wonderful music from Robert Hyman.

Before the show there is a light hearted half hour rehearsal in which some children are chosen and rehearsed into their parts while the rest of the audience is taught four chorus songs. During the interval the actors and children are costumed and the show, lasting an hour, runs seamlessly with everyone taking part as rehearsed.

Rehearsal/Workshop 30 mins. Interval. Performance 1 hour.
