What the press say about it:

"Children's Theatre is almost always a poor relation, so three cheers for the Octagon for taking the risk in commissioning this new play for four to eight year olds from writer Neil Duffield. A blend of stories and folk tales from all over the world, the play goes deep into the heart of the forest where tiger, parrot, and Dry Bones the magician, are all trying to outwit eachother."
THE GUARDIAN

"Neil Duffield weaves myth and nature together, capturing the essence of the jungle with its scamperings and cruelty as well as making harmless and enjoyable entertainment for young children. There are plenty of songs, and the colourful and exotic wildlife makes it an appealing alternative to more traditional Christmas fare."
CITY LIFE

"...aimed at four to eight year olds - and those of us grown-ups who still have a little of the eight year old in us. Script writer Neil Duffield has taken traditional stories from around the world and as story teller Maggie Tagney explains at the beginning of the play, they've become a jumbled up jungly sort of story where the audience are led into a forest of strange sights and sounds.....A wonderful alternative to panto."
