This is the place where people suffered and dreamed. Meet the hopeful, resilient residents of The Jungle – just across the Channel, right on our doorstep. The Jungle tells stories of loss, fear, community and hope, of the Calais camp’s creation - and of its eventual destruction. Join the residents over freshly baked naan and sweet milky chai at the Afghan Café, and experience the intense, moving and uplifting encounters between refugees from many different countries and the volunteers who arrived from the UK.

Content

This production contains the following: Smoke effects; Strobe/ flashing lights; Cigarette smoking; Strong language; Loud noises and gunshot sounds; Prolonged periods of darkness; Images which some may find disturbing.

Special notes

For this production, the producers have transformed part of the auditorium inside the theatre into the world of the Afghan Café in the Calais Jungle. The Calais camp was largely organised by nationality, and the auditorium space has been designed to reflect this. This means that there may be a country or area name on your ticket(s). This will help you find your seats when you arrive, and the friendly theatre team will be on hand to assist. PLEASE NOTE: Box office collection is the only ticket delivery option for this show.

Some audience members may be asked to check their bags and coats into a free cloakroom for the duration of the performance.

Please allow a little more time than usual to get to your seats before the start of the performance.

No latecomers are permitted. If you leave your seat during the performance you may be prevented from readmission to the auditorium.

Brilliant. Fresh production with a message that everyone should hear. Superb

Maria Walker

One of the best plays I've ever seen! Funny, tragic and sadly true. I hope it gets a second run. Theresa May, if it does, go see it!

A unique piece of theatre, both in terms of form as well as content, quick paced, powerful and emotive.

Such an important play for our time. Harrowing, brilliant and immensely moving. Never have I heard such sobbing from a theatre audience. I hope it continues to be performed.
