"I liked the way you made the dolls and puppets look like they were real."
In Arena's colourful adaptation of The Jungle Book we follow the adventures of Mowgli and his animal friends. Raised by a wolf pack in the Indian jungle Mowgli is befriended by Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the panther and makes an enemy of Shere Khan the tiger.
Arena’s imaginative style and inventive skill retains the richness of Kipling's language and provides an exciting and entertaining version of this much loved story.
Arena's colourful, dramatic storytelling incorporates drama, music, dance and soft toys. The production is devised to encourage children to use their imaginations and to use toys to make their own plays and stories. Our use of humour, movement and eye-catching design engages pupils of all abilities.
Arena's unique production style and workshop encourages reading and creative play. It is also a useful resource for the literacy strategy drama strand.
The Jungle Book tours from December 2012 to the end of January 2013.
