More about The Jungle Book

A new adaptation by Anupama Chandrasekhar after Rudyard Kipling. Directed by Indhu Rubasingham, puppetry Finn Caldwell and Nick Barnes.

The original tells us the story of Mowgli, a human boy raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. Anu has undertaken a magical, theatrical adaptation of the adored Kipling short stories, filled with puppetry, humour and lively original character.

Set in the Sundarbans in Northern India, this version is imbued with contemporary themes about the changing climate and the interdependency of humans and animals in the natural world. It centres the spiritual roots of the natural world and places at the heart the character of Ma Bonbibi, the Lady of the Forest, the guardian spirit of this mangrove forest, worshipped by both Hindus and Muslims, who protects the creatures of this area.

This production reunites Indhu and Anu on the Olivier stage (The Father and the Assassin) offering a distinctive and resonant new version of this beloved story. Audiences will be transported into the jungle as the Olivier is transformed for this timeless classic tale of family, courage and loyalty, framed through a contemporary lens, exploring the enduring theme of nature and nurture. Theatrical magic for the whole family.
