Jungle Book Update

Preparations for the Jungle Book are almost complete.

Working with Stuart Paterson’s adaptation of one of Kipling’s most endearing works the younger members of the cast have come to appreciate the real story. They came expecting Disney and have found a powerful story of love, betrayal, loyalty, revenge and courage. It has all the ingredients of a true adventure and will appeal to adults and children alike. Ali and Liz say that it has sent them back to re-discover the original stories which, if each were included, would fill several plays. However, Paterson has captured the essence of the original. Be warned – it’s definitely not Disney!

Performances are Friday 28th December to Saturday 5th January. Matinees will be on 29th and 30th December and 1st and 5th January. No performances on 31st December or evening performance 1st January.

Evening performances are at 7.45pm; matinees at 2.00pm.

JUNGLE BOOK
By Rudyard Kipling
adapted by Stuart Paterson

Rehearsals are well under way and we are delighted that the promising script is being brought to life by some strong characters. Our younger members are learning that Kipling’s story is very different from the Disney version and have started to enjoy the powerful language and the unfolding dilemma of Mowgli. There is adventure, friendship and some scary stuff. We think that some children under five might find a few scenes a bit frightening (although many seem to watch Dr Who without flinching!)

There is an early bird booking offer. Tickets booked before 10th December will be £7.00 for concessions and £8.50 for adults.

Book soon – save money!
