         Jungle, The         King Of Schnorrers, The         Pineapple         Tartuffe

Jungle, The

Synopsis:
The story of one boy torn apart by instinct and loyalty, desire and fate. As the drama unfolds, Jungle explores the eternal conflict of personal desire and its clash with the group. One individual is thrown into an alien environment, forcing together two worlds, fracturing both societies that claim to won him, and challenging both animal and human loyalty - culminating in explosive consequences. Who is Mowgli? A confused boy, or a ruthless dictator? Is he a pawn in someone else's game, or the master of his own? His power is an accident of fate, but how can he use it wisely when neither world knows enough to guide him?

Tartuffe

Synopsis:
A highly original adaptation of Moliere's Tartuffe captures and ignites the frenetic energy of the original seventeenth-century French farce. the story of the foolish patriarch Orgon, duped into giving all he owns to the slimy priest Tartuffe, is relocated into a modern political world of suits and swivel chairs, where paparazzi constantly hound and Tartuffe promises not only salvation but UN diplomacy. Why are the people in power the only ones that can't see the truth? A funny and punchy rhyming script, drawing on slapstick and Commedia dell'Arte, is designed for a flexible cast to accommodate as many or as little as a director may wish. A sell out at its Edinburgh Festival 2008 premiere, this is Physical Farcical Fun. Cast - as performed in Edinburgh - 17m 10f
