JUNGALBOOK
Theatre for Young Audiences by Edward Mast
Langworthy Theatre
Directed by Andrea Moon
April 26, 27, 28
Rated G (recommended for ages 7 and above)
Adapted for the stage from the Rudyard Kipling classic novel by Seattle playwright Edward Mast, Jungalbook tells the classic story of Mowgli, the human child raised by wolves deep in the jungle of India. He is befriended by Baloo the bear and kept under the watchful eye of Bagheera, the panther.
Mowgli learns that he is not actually a wolf, but instead a human who must defend himself against Sherakhan, the fearsome tiger who killed his parents. When Mowgli breaks jungle law, he is forced to choose between facing the consequences, or leaving the jungle forever. Jungalbook, winner of a Distinguished Play Award from the American Alliance for Theatre and Education, embodies the spirits of loyalty, adventure, and betrayal found in Kipling’s original stories.
