Description

'This devastating, uplifting show celebrates the human capacity to build something out of nothing, to work together and try to make a difference.' - Guardian

Join the hopeful, resilient residents of 'The Jungle', the refugees and volunteers from around the globe who gather at the Afghan Cafe. They're just across the Channel, right on our doorstep.

Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson's The Jungle premiered as a co-production between Young Vic and the National Theatre with Good Chance Theatre, commissioned by the National Theatre, opening at the Young Vic, London, in December 2017. The play transferred to the Playhouse Theatre, London, in June 2018.

Reviews

'An immersive, powerful experience. A deeply moving piece of theatre.' -- Financial Times
'Urgency, vividness and wit. The play's sense of the knottiness of world politics makes this a remarkable evening.' -- The Times
