The Jungle
Following universal critical acclaim, & direct from a sold-out run at the Young Vic, the National Theatre & Young Vic co-production with Good Chance Theatre of Joe Murphy & Joe Robertson’s The Jungle, directed by Stephen Daldry & Justin Martin is open to rave reviews in the West End.
This is the place where people suffered & dreamed. Meet the hopeful, resilient residents of The Jungle – just across the Channel, right on our doorstep. The Jungle tells stories of loss, fear, community & hope, of the Calais camp’s creation - & of its eventual destruction. Join the residents over freshly baked naan & sweet milky chai at the Afghan Café, & experience the intense, moving & uplifting encounters between refugees from many different countries & the volunteers who arrived from the UK.
CHOOSE FROM TWO UNIQUE SEATING EXPERIENCES
Take a seat at the wooden benches & tables of the bustling Afghan Café in the stalls, or watch from the traditional theatre seating in the Dress Circle, overlooking the dynamic performance space below.
