Children’s Touring Partnership and Royal and Derngate, Northampton bring their new adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s family classic The Jungle Book to The Lowry from May 2 to 6.
Originally written in 1894, Kipling’s tale is reimagined with a brand new score and script, exploring universal themes of family, belonging and identity.
The Jungle Book tells of Mowgli the man cub raised by wolves in the jungle. With the help of 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.
