The Jungle Book description

This spectacular new production from the award-winning Metta Theatre brings Kipling’s classic tale crashing into the 21st Century with breathtaking street dance and circus. Mowgli is finding her way in the urban jungle. With a beat-boxing bin man Baloo, graffiti artist Bagheera and a skateboarding Wolf crew, this heart-warming coming of age story will astonish and amaze. Directed by Poppy Burton-Morgan (Mouthful, Trafalgar Studios, The King of Tiny Things, Udderbelly Festival), choreographed by Kendra J Horsburgh (BirdGang Dance Company, Into the Hoods, Sadlers Wells and Blaze, International Tour) and featuring jaw-dropping tricks from an extraordinary cast of international performers, this is a show for everyone from 8 to 108.
