The Jungle Book to bring some animal magic to Hertford stage
IF you enjoy those Bare Necessities, you’d better head over to Hertford this weekend for some animal magic.
The Jungle Book plays at the Hertford Theatre on Saturday, October 27.
After the huge success of their sell-out tour last year, Polka Dot Pantomimes – as seen on BBC2’s Dragons’ Den – are preparing to swing into town with their adventurous adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s famous story.
The show follows Mowgli, a young boy born into the jungle and raised by a pack of wolves.
Mowgli learns about the jungle and friendship from Baloo and Bagheera while attempting to avoid Shere Khan, the Bengal tiger who is determined to banish him from the jungle world.

Mowgli’s adventures lead him to the ultimate realisation that his rightful place is in the human world and not with his animal friends.
The production will feature West End performers as highly mobile costumed characters, resulting in animals that bring the jungle to life right before your eyes.
