AWARD-winning Metta Theatre bring their new production of Jungle Book to Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, May 3 to Saturday, May 7. Acclaimed street dance choreographer Kendra J Horsburgh has collaborated with artistic directors Poppy Burton-Morgan and William Reynolds on a new version using street dance, circus, skateboards and spoken word.

Poppy Burton-Morgan's radical re-imagining of Kipling's much loved, classic sees Jungle Book transposed to a contemporary urban jungle of fleet-footed Wolves, street dancing Monkeys, a beat-boxing bin man Baloo and graffiti artist Bagheera. Kipling for the 21st century - this production will simultaneously astonish with its physical virtuosity and challenge with its politics.

Metta Theatre are known for their powerful visual storytelling and exploration of multi-cultural stories often from a female perspective. In Jungle Book we follow Mowgli on her search for identity and belonging - vulnerable, isolated and trying to find her place in an alien environment. The story transcends boundaries and will resonate with audiences young and old, urban and rural.

Jungle Book will be at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, May 3 to Saturday, May 7. To book, call the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk
