Mowgli was still a toddler when he was lost in the jungle ndash; his parentsfleeing the tiger; Shere Khan. There; Mowgli was brought up bywolves; and educated by the bear Baloo and the panther Bagheera.He was happy while growing up and learning the ways of the jungle ndash;and his name was soon known amongst all the animals. But Mowglirsquo;sgrowing fame provoked resentment and envy; and his life was soonthreatened from all sideshellip;First published in the late 1890s; Rudyard Kiplingrsquo;s two Jungle Bookshave enchanted generations of children and adults. Often describedas an allegory for the society and politics of the time; The JungleBook has now been adapted by critically-acclaimed South Africanplaywright; Craig Higginson. The play asks: Who is your family?Those who look the same as you or those who love and nurtureyou? Here; the tales become a powerful examination of an emergingdemocracy; and the forces that threaten it.Based on a version by the celebrated director Tim Supple; thisadaptation was first staged at Johannesburgrsquo;s Market Theatre in2008. This powerful and magical version of a much-loved classic isas resonant now as it was when it first appeared ndash; both within SouthAfrica and beyond its borders.
