About The Concrete Jungle Book
An explosive and energetic hip hop musical which catapults Rudyard Kipling’s classic story into inner-city Britain with live rap music, grime, reggae, spoken word and big personality. As the jungle’s trees become tower blocks, Mo(wgli) navigates her way through relationships, unstable housing conditions and hostile creatures, trying to find the parental figures she has always longed for. Back after a smash hit run in 2021, updated and expanded to showcase the diverse talents of HighRise's NewGens company, this is The Jungle Book like you’ve never imagined. Originally created in collaboration with young people at CentrePoint foyers across London and commissioned by artsdepot and Zoo Venues, Edinburgh Fringe 2017. Age Recommendation: 10+ This show contains strobe lighting and smoke.
