It won five star reviews during its Young Vic run and now The Jungle, an immersive play from Good Chance Theatre, gets a West End transfer. Directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin, the piece was written by two young playwrights, Joe Robertson and Joe Murphy, who founded the Good Chance project, which brought theatrical productions to the Calais migrant camp. Miriam Buether's set places the audience in a recreation of the camp's Afghan cafe where refugees and volunteers from around the world meet over fresh baked naan and sweet milky chai. There's Okot, who wants nothing more than to get to the UK, and Beth, who wants nothing more than to help him.
About Playhouse Theatre
A short step away from the main strip of West End theatres, the Playhouse's stylish curved facade is rather lost among the towering architecture of Charing Cross and Embankment. If the exterior is a little too restrained however, the same cannot be said for the auditorium, which is a sumptuous tribute to theatrical excess. More about Playhouse Theatre
