Jungle Book 

A Kidoons and WYRD Production, in association with The 20K Collective 

Written and directed by Craig Francis and Rick Miller 

From the creators of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea comes a theatrical adaptation of the works of Rudyard Kipling. The classic Mowgli stories have been re-imagined through modern eyes, with immersive multimedia, shadow-play, and original music. Jungle Book will transport you from the urban jungle to Mowgli’s childhood in the jungles of India and delve deep into the emotional themes of the story, and our relationship to the animal kingdom. After a world premiere at Asolo Repertory Theatre in Florida and with hit runs in Pasadena Playhouse and Young People’s Theatre, Jungle Book is touring internationally.
