The Jungle Book Briandaniel Oglesby

Full-Length Play "Four Stars. An entertaining family show, with enough clever jokes to keep the grownups on board." -Sacramento News and Review Mowgli's search for home takes the spotlight in this new imagining of Rudyard Kipling's classic tale. In this living storybook, Mowgli struggles to fit in with the wolves, the monkeys, and even the humans on his journey to discover where he belongs. Along the way he must contend with the mesmerizing Kaa and the terrifying Sheer Khan, but with the help of his friends Baloo and Bagheera, Mowgli's search ends happily. Masks, puppets, and contemporary elements, like a trip to the Starbucks in the cell-phone-obsessed city, make this new adaptation of The Jungle Book a unique and delightful one.
