Puppetworks Presents THE JUNGLE BOOK, Now thru 8/19
Puppetworks has announced the spring/summer presentation in its Brooklyn theatre: A marionette presentation of Rudyard Kipling's 1893-94 Fables of India, "The Jungle Book."
Adapted by Puppetworks' artistic director, Nicolas Coppola, with Adam Kilgour, "The Jungle Book" tells the tale of Mowgli, a little boy lost in the jungle of India and adopted by a family of wolves.

Some of Mowgli's adventures involve Kikki and Tikk - The Monkey Folk, Nag - the cobra, and Hathi - the elephant. Puppetworks' production features an original song score with scenery and costumes based on authentic motifs of India.
