The Jungle

Okot wants nothing more than to get to the UK. Beth wants nothing more than to help him.

Join the hopeful, resilient residents of 'The Jungle', the refugees and volunteers from around the globe who gather at the Afghan Café. They're just across the Channel, right on our doorstep.

Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson's The Jungle premiered as a co¬production between Young Vic and the National Theatre with Good Chance Theatre, commissioned by the National Theatre, opening at the Young Vic, London, in December 2017. It transferred to the Playhouse Theatre, London, in June 2018.

The play made its North American premiere at St. Ann's Warehouse in New York in 2018 and enjoyed a subsequent engagement at The Curran in San Francisco in 2019. In 2023, The Jungle returned to the US, running at St. Ann's Warehouse and Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington D.C.
