The Jungle Book
This play is one of those timeless stories that sits in everyone’s childhood memory bank, full of adventure, heart and life lessons wrapped in the wild.
It follows Mowgli, a brave young girl raised by wolves, as she steps into a wild world that is equal parts beautiful and dangerous.
With Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther by her side, she learns the rules of the jungle while figuring out how to survive with curiosity and everything in between.
The journey is filled with memorable encounters, each creature adding heart and a bit of trouble along the way. But as danger creeps closer and the pull of the human world gets stronger, Mowgli is forced to make a tough choice about where she truly belongs.
The multi-talented South African cast features Noluthando Mathebula as Mowgli, Grant Towers as Baloo and Siyamthanda (Siya) Makakane as Bagheera.
