Synopsis

This dramatization places the jungle of India on a children's playground. The dialogue and action refer to the jungle, but the play draws color and style from a child's intense world of playfulness, loyalty, adventure and betrayal. Mowgli, the human child, grows up in the jungle, raised by wolves under the guidance of Baloo the bear. The tiger, Sherakhan, killed his parents and wants the boy's flesh, but Bagheera, the lone panther, protects him. Mowgli grows up wild and unconcerned, believing he's a wolf; but the tiger works long and hard to poison the wolf pack against him. With rope stolen from the human village, Mowgli meets and destroys Sherakhan; but his use of "manthing" has broken jungle law. Mowgli must choose whether to defy the law or leave the jungle forever.

Customer Reviews

I have loved this script for a long time! It is a unique twist on the traditional tale of The Jungle Book in which the actors are portrayed as children instead of animals. This show can be done with a minimal set or an elaborate one. Great for One-Act Play! My students loved it!

Hints, Tips, and Tricks

We used scaffolding to create an urban jungle. Be creative with movement and music.
