PUNCH-A-TANTRA
UK TOUR 29 MARCH - 10 JUNE 2005
Inspired
by fascinating and much-loved fables from Indian folklore, such
as Aesops Fables and Jataka Tales, Punch-A-Tantra is a visually
delightful musical that will dazzle and enchant children and adults
alike. The musicals protagonist Varun is too busy to spend
time with his child but accidentally, through a series of peculiar
events, finds himself in a magical world of talking animals - with
Mac, the cool and over-confident monkey, Kabir, the clumsy and silly
crow, Monty the elephant who does not like humans and Jaggu the
Jackal, whom no-one quite trusts!
With
the help of Sir Ovid, the Owl Scientist and the Oracle Aurora, Varun
and his friends explore undiscovered places and journey through
the treacherous forest. Varun and his friends have to save the forest
from destruction by evil forces and let magic guide them through
their wondrous journey. Producer Ashvin Gidwani says: Punch-A-Tantra
is a wonderful tale about never losing faith in your dreams and
keeping the child in you alive.
