I am absolutely delighted that my adaptation of The Jungle Book will be re-staged in 2013 as West Yorkshire Playhouse's Christmas show in the Quarry Theatre, with Liam Steel directing. ​

This script was originally commissioned by Rupert Goold for Northampton Royal. I was both writer and director. The production transferred to Oxford Playhouse and was revived with a new cast as Warwick Arts Centre's Christmas show. ​Design by Diego Pitarch and music by Arun Ghosh. Original cast: Jude Akuwudike, Alex de Marcus, Arnie Hewitt, Anjali Jay, Georgina Roberts and Miltos Yerolemou. 

'without doubt an extraordinary and ​sensational success'     (The Stage).                                                    Full review here.                                                                                                                                        

'Where to begin heaping praise on this production?...The Jungle Book is back in a new and wonderful guise, given glorious life by Rosanna Lowe's sensitive, animal-empathetic production...Here is a version full of love, riddled through and through with beautifully observed detail...There's a lot of quiet wisdom in this show... Above all, this is a joyous, triumphant team effort from start to finish.'   (The Independent) .                        Full review here.
