Playhouse Theatre transforming for Stephen Daldry's The Jungle + rehearsal photos
11/06/2018
Preparations are underway for the West End transfer of the Young Vic's The Jungle directed by Stephen Daldry.
The Playhouse Theatre, where the play opens for preview on June 16, is being transformed in order to accommodate Miriam Buether's original set design from the Young Vic and the Dress Circle will be transformed in the 'Cliffs of Dover'.
Screens will also relay close up shots, live news broadcast-style, to bring a more intimate play watching experience in the larger theatre.
Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson’s play is set in Europe’s largest unofficial refugee camp, the Calais Jungle, which in 2015, became a temporary home for more than 10,000 people.
The cast is in rehearsal and you can see pictures below.
