The Jungle Book
Adapted from the Rudyard Kipling Stories
By Neil Duffield

Touring 24th September - 24th December 2011

Before the peacock flutters, before the monkeys cry
Through the jungle softly, flits a shadow and a sigh
There's a breathing close behind you, a rustling of leaves
Who's lurking in the bushes? Who’s hiding in the trees?
Oxfordshire Theatre Company present the thrilling and heart-warming story of Mowgli, the boy brought up by wolves. Educated by Baloo, the bear and Bagheera, the panther and hunted by the great tiger, Shere Khan, Mowgli must learn the laws of the jungle and become a young man with the confidence to walk alone.

Adapted by award winning playwright, Neil Duffield, who wrote the company’s acclaimed production of Alice in Wonderland, this production is packed with all the drama, excitement and fun of Rudyard Kipling’s classic story. Inventively staged and performed through a dazzling blend of theatre, songs, puppetry and movement you’ll be certain of a very special experience for children and the young at heart alike.
