THE BRILLIANT SHOW THAT CAPTURED THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF OUR CITY TRIUMPHANTLY RETURNS.
In an improvised refugee camp in Calais, France, thousands of refugees fled drought, war, and violence seeking their “good chance” — to reach the U.K.
The Jungle asks why those crossing borders in search of safety and home must face grave harm and danger.

An honor to attend last night’s American premiere performance of “The Jungle” @stannswarehouse in Brooklyn, NY. Phenomenal, immersive, dynamic, instructive of experience in Calais, France refugee camp during 2015-16. @TheJungleUS @GoodChanceCal

Breathtaking theater last night @stannswarehouse — “The Jungle”. Don’t research it. Just go if you can get txts. It wrecked & inspired me.

Cannot find the words to capture my experience at @TheJungleUS at @stannswarehouse. Devastating, uplifting and magical all come to mind. You have to see it to believe it.

Just saw The Jungle at @stannswarehouse and was totally floored. An overwhelmingly powerful work of theater. I don’t get emotional easily but this was a roller coaster of feelings.
