Epic Theatre This Summer
12
Feb
By Open Air Theatre
This summer we are bringing the Indonesian rainforest to Regent’s Park with our epic production of Michael Morpurgo’s Running Wild.
Michael Morpurgo is one of our most popular authors, with War Horse gaining him an international reputation, through the novel, stage play and film. Finn Caldwell and Toby Olié, both previous Associate Puppetry Directors on War Horse, have created stunning puppets for his Running Wild, including an elephant, tiger, crocodile and orag-utans. Their work has also recently included The Lorax (Old Vic) and The Light Princess (National).
In a co-production with Chichester Festival Theatre, and with a cast of 40, Running Wild is our most ambitious project yet.
Amongst the wonder of the rainforest, Running Wild also tells a darker story: that of the destruction of habitat and of poachers killing for greed. We are proud to have teamed up with neighbours ZSL London Zoo, whose mission is to promote and achieve the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats. As well as running education modules for schools in association with the production, for every family ticket purchased for Running Wild, we are offering an £8.00 discount to ZSL London Zoo, so that families can find out more about their important conservation work.
