The Jungle Book

Children's play "The Jungle Book"

"The Jungle Book" is an adaptation of the eponymous text by English Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling, who spent part of his childhood separated from his parents. Kipling also worked as a journalist in India, where he became familiar with the rich wildlife of the Indian subcontinent. The work itself contains many autobiographical elements transposed into the animal world.

"The Jungle Book" was also adapted by the Disney studio as one of the film classics directed by Wolfgang Reitherman (1967). Essentially, it consists of seven stories joined into a single whole. In our adaptation, the text has been significantly adjusted to the conditions required by the theatrical environment. The original text has been modernized, with many humorous elements added.

Vivid costumes, colorful set design and the adapted music by George Bruns from the animated film form the basis for a theatrical story about human characters placed in an animal kingdom and are tailored to the age group that will mostly make up the audience for this play.
