The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book at the National Theatre is a new stage adaptation by Anupama Chandrasekhar, directed by Indhu Rubasingham for the Olivier Theatre. Set in the mangroves of the Sundarbans, it follows Mowgli, a child raised among wolves who must confront danger, protect the family and friends he loves, and discover where he belongs. Innovative puppetry by Nick Barnes and Finn Caldwell brings the animals and landscape to life, creating a large-scale family theatre experience rooted in Rudyard Kipling’s stories.
