An exciting new adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s masterpiece The Jungle Book will visit the Playhouse from 13th-17th February for eight performances.

Originally written in 1894, Kipling’s beloved tale will be reimagined by Children’s Touring Partnership and Royal & Derngate, Northampton with a brand new score and script, exploring the universal themes of family, belonging and identity.

The Jungle Book tells the story of Mowgli – a man cub raised by wolves who battles for survival in the jungle. With the help of his animal friends, including Bagheera the panther, Balloo the bear and Kaa the python, Mowgli outwits the cruel and powerful tiger, Shere Khan, and learns the law of the jungle.
