Mowgli and friends in Lewes this Winter
On Sunday the 18th of December, Lewes Drama Collective’s Junior Club will be performing a most treasured tale about a young boy finding his way in life with the help of his jungleriffic friends at the Malling Community Centre.
At 11am, our Junior Club will proudly present Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale of ‘The Jungle Book’ in Lewes…
“This exhilarating production ticks all the boxes for families looking for an uplifting treat.”
Time Out
Adapted by Stuart Paterson, “a master of children’s theatre” (Scotsman), this is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
“A top-class production, a tropical cocktail of intense and comical moments, shaken and stirred with heart-stopping dangers and surprises.”
Daily Telegraph
Mowgli must learn the Laws of the Jungle from Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther to survive the jaws of Shere Khan the tiger. In this tale we see Mowgli, the brave little man cub, grow into a confident and care-free young boy.
However, danger is never far away and Shere Khan is hungry for revenge. As Mowgli faces each challenge, he must decide whether he belongs in the animal kingdom or indeed, the world of men.
“Up against Disney, you have your work cut out to produce a show that’s entertaining, fast-moving and fun in comparison… It’s fun, it’s poignant and it’s entertainment at its very best.”
