"Although intended for children, this version of the Just So Stories should appeal to all listenrs who have the childlike spirit lurking within their souls." Radio Drama Reviews Online

Have you ever wondered how it is that the moon pulls the tides (instead of a crab who was taller than the smoke of three volcanoes), or the reason why the elephant’s nose is so long? Find out as Rudyard Kipling’s classic children’s stories are brought to vivid life in this enchanting  production first performed at the Pleasance Theatre in Edinburgh in August 2011 and 2013. The perfect show for children aged 4+ and for adults of all ages. 

In this all-new audio adaptation of the smash-hit theatre show, legendary actor DAVID WARNER lends his voice to five of Kipling's finest fare, while the Red Table Theatre cast perform five of their unique songs from the live show (in all-new recordings made especially for Spokenworld Audio).

POEM TEXT / CONTEXT

"Futura Vecchia, New Year's Eve" by Rebecca Elson (read by Maria Popova)

I love all things creative, from art, music, theatre, cinema, animation, literature as well as history and archaeology. I attempt to write, short stories and, what might or might not turn into a novel. I just love words!
