A PERFORMANCE of children's classic The Jungle Book takes place at The Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury on Thursday, May 31, at 2.30pm.

Adapted from the original Rudyard Kipling story this production for children aged five and over brings to life the journey to maturity of Mowgli, the man cub. During the light-hearted first act rehearsal' some lucky children from the audience are chosen to take part in the show and the rest of the audience are taught songs. With the new additions to the cast put in costume during the interval, the show, lasting one hour, can really begin.

Tickets for The Jungle Book cost £7.50 or £6.50 for concessions. Call The Roses on 01684 295074.
