"Jungle Book reimagined feels like a blockbuster cinematic experience with a powerful message for us all. It’s truly exceptional."
The Stage

“I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge—even wisdom. Like art.”
Toni Morrison, “No Place for Self-Pity, No Room for Fear” The Nation, 23 March 2015
