The Jungle.
22 September 2018
Very thought provoking! Sitting in the jungle with the actors really made made feel I was living in the experience of a refugee camp. I thought the play was a little tough on the French and the British government. I have a background in Conservative politics so found some of the comments a little hard to swallow. Overall very good.

Heart Breaking, real ,moving
21 September 2018
Heart breaking, real, moving.
So close to home yet we manage to live our lives totally removed from the reality of Callais and The Jungle.
Yet, there were some light moments of smiles, grimace and almost laughter.
Go and see it. The theatre has undergone a total transformation and you feel part of the dramatic action.

A wonderful production that showed the both the horror and resilience, the kindness as well as the desperation of life in the Jungle. Based on reality the play is hard- hitting and true, but never didactic. I would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to understand our world today while appreciating a superb new theatrical experience.

Saw The Jungle last night and would thoroughly recommend it to others. An honest and moving portrayal of a subject that we should all know more about.
I was brought to tears on several occasions and spent the rest chuckling away. A very clever balance of humour and stark reality.
Go go go see it!

Profoundly impacting
5 September 2018
I was an amazing experience from start to finish and I felt I learned a great deal about the refugee crisis at Calais, but more importantly you see it through the eyes of the refugees and the people trying to help them.
The way all the diverse people came together and formed a working community. The acting was inspired and the setting was incredible. I wish everyone would see it and especially world leaders who
Have any sense of humanity. We in western society create many of the refugee crisis by invading their countries or by ignoring the impact of climate change. We do nothing to stop the genocide in several countries. Loook
Back in recent history, we denied the Jews fleeing Germany entry to the US and even a boatload of children. The same of the UK, we could have saved them easily.
This okay shows us again our inhumanity to their plight.
Go See it!

The Jungle
22 August 2018
Unlike any other theatre experience. Started with chaos reflecting real life in the 'Jungle'. Powerful and heartwarming, especially the community spirit and the resolution of conflicts within the group. Authenticity was its greatest attribute. Audience were very responsive. The event managed to be both hugely entertaining and informative.

An inconvenient truth
7 August 2018
I’ve honestly never been so moved by a production, and the use of space was absolutely ingenious. Everywhere you looked something was happening and nothing by accident, the audience is truly immersed in the world of The Jungle,which means you can’t look away and you really are face to face with the truth of life in somewhere that was not and is not France. I take my hat of to the entire company who last night recieved a (very tearful) standing ovation which I don’t doubt would’ve continued much longer than it did. All I can say is thank you for opening my eyes

Extraordinary breathtaking scarey
21 July 2018
Amidst a rearranged theatre set the majority of the audience sits amongst the action- ‘in a cafe’ close to the raw energy sentiment actions movements and sentiment of these people who have been left ...to live/to die/to be ignored by the rest of local authorities or immigration policy parameters- the cultural differences the bubbling emotions the hope and fear throughout brings this remarkable piece of theatre to the forefront of topical issues surrounding so many countries- the set the speech the characters are truly immersed- they can do nothing but ripple through you with human rights and political questions- a must for all those who want to feel this brutal confusion surrounding us all-do not expect to feel upbeat or chatty as you exit the theatre- a masterpiece indeed. Thank you

30 June 2018
The Jungle is a really different West End experience, from the extraordinarily informal stage setting to the interplay of fiction and reality. It is a play about both hope and despair, human resilience and human suffering. We had seats right by the table come stage and felt like we were part of the camp cafe, at once awkward and intrigued. The passion in the acting had us all spellbound throughout and there was hardly a dry eye in the audience by the end. A memorable and exceptional performance.

I thought The Jungle would be good, but it surpassed my expectations in every way.
The acting; the writing; the staging: superb!
It's on of the most moving things I've seen. In fact, I would go so far as to say, it was the best theatre experience I can remember.
I will be recommending it to everyone I know.

Provocative right-at-the-moment play
22 June 2018
I absolutely loved this play. This play based on the real story, (play per se is fictional though) which still needs our 'humanity' attention to those who strive to live a decent life. It is not all about heavy topic like life of refugees and feeling of sadness but humor can be found timely. I thought the stage arrangement and the seating plan were very charming as well, as audiences became a part of play. I recommend to get a seat at stall if you'd like to feel more involved with actors.

It’s thought-provoking and fun at the time. Powerful and truthful stillness at moments without energy dropping left me really impressed. Besides, the chaos and the interruptions of several scenes surprisingly don’t really make the viewer panic but still leave us space to think while get what’s going on. I love how the play is written as well as how it’s presented. The space is set intimately and audience being directly acknowledged of being present and addressed. As an audience member, I feel being invited and included to “feel”( but not forced to) in their place while being given adequate factual information, which satisfies both my logical brain and sensational brain. It has set an important rule for me to respect people’s “at-root” identity as a person, and, for their each unique culture instead of putting them into a whole refugee nationality. It also triggered a desire in me to learn and sympathize as human and to help. Finally, sitting in the dress circle, watching the playwright beside the stage being the most exciting viewer and following the lines at times is part of the entertainment in my experience. Thank you all for this experience.
