The Mowgli Stories at Fountains Abbey

Wednesday 29 July
Open Air Theatre 6.30pm
A young man emerges from the jungle and leads a Forest Officer straight to where
the man-eating tiger has hidden. But how? He says he grew up in the jungle, speaks
all the animals’ languages and learned their laws. But is this true?
Mowgli’s REAL adventures are more extraordinary and a lot more exciting than
any cartoon film! In this brand new production, international award-winning Illyria
uses an ensemble chorus, masks, puppetry and song to evoke the amazing world of
Kipling’s jungle.
Bring a picnic, rug and chairs and enjoy this wonderful story played out in the
magical surroundings of Fountains Abbey.
