The Jungle, Playhouse Theatre

After a sold-out run at the Young Vic, Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson of Good Chance Theatre bring their acclaimed production of “The Jungle” to the West End. Playing a limited season at the Playhouse Theatre, the show sees the venue transformed to accommodate Miriam Buether’s immersive set design. A production about nationality, community and identity, “The Jungle” is a pertinent play that shares the stories of loss, hope and fear from the resilient residents of Europe’s largest refugee camp. Audiences are invited to join them in the Afghan café to split freshly baked naan and sip chai tea as emotive encounters are shared. Featuring the majority of the cast from the Young Vic run, the production is directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin and runs at the London venue for a strictly limited season, from 16 June to 3 November 2018.
