Humdrum Present Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book December 17, 2009

Mowgli - the man-cub - is stolen from his family by the tiger, Shere Khan. Raised by a wolf-pack in the jungle and guided through life by Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, eventually surviving all that life can throw at him, Mowgli grows to be a man - the Lord of the Jungle. Vast and magical, full of loss and love and rage, Kipling’s jungle of the imagination is the perfect inspirational show for the Christmas season.
Written in 1894, Kipling’s fables teach moral lessons through stories that entertain and thrill and that have survived, now, for more than a century.

Multi-award-winning HumDrum return to The Spring with Stuart Paterson’s masterful adaptation of Kipling’s classic. Going further into the stories than the classic Disney cartoon, Paterson’s adaptation is truer to the spirit and the language of the original.

Suitable for anybody from age 5+
Please note that there are some scary scenes: the snake Kaa goes into the audience and Shere Khan will be scary.
