Emma and Lucy are lost in Tulgey Wood, a mysterious forest full of weird and wonderful creatures. Trying to find their way home, they encounter boisterous Toves and anxious Raths, receive a warning from the refined and snobbish Borogroves about the deadly Jubjub Bird, and are stalked by the frumious Bandersnatch. Joined by intrepid but hapless knight Percy, they come face to face with the awesome Jabberwock – and then Lucy is bandersnatched! Eventually the Jabberwocks’ terrible secret is revealed, and the children find out what “frumious” really means. Suggested by the poem “Jabberwocky,” the play is set in the fantasy world of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’ stories.

Sit alongside a troupe of storytellers as they gather under the stars. The crickets faintly sing as a drum beat echoes in the night, and you are transported to the jungle, where the lives and ideals of man and beast collide, and the law of the jungle must be obeyed. Here, we meet Mowgli, a young boy lost by his parents when fleeing the tiger, Shere Khan. Watch as he is raised by wolves, and educated by the bear Baloo and the panther Bagheera. Featuring mesmerizing puppetry and stunning live music, this new adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s enchanted tale asks: Who is your true family? Those who look the same as you or those who love and nurture you? Here, the tales become a powerful examination of an emerging democracy, and the forces that threaten it. Based on a version by the celebrated director Tim Supple, this adaptation was written by critically acclaimed South African playwright Craig Higginson, and was first staged at Johannesburg’s Market Theatre in 2008.
