Theatre by the Lake

Theatre by the Lake has a setting on the shores of Derwentwater no other professional theatre in Britain can match. Each year it stages up to nine of its own productions of classic, modern and new plays on its two stages and has won multi-starred reviews from national critics. It also hosts festivals of literature, jazz, film and mountains. Daytime and evening refreshments are available from light snacks to pre-theatre meals.

There are lifts to all levels and wheelchair users can get to all front-of-house and backstage areas. Both auditoria have enhanced-hearing and induction loop systems.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.theatrebythelake.com, where you can now choose your own seat and see the view of the stage before you buy. Alternatively, call the Box Office on 017687 74411 – it’s open from 9.30am to 8pm daily.

Location

The theatre is a five minute walk from the town centre (follow signs for the Lake), with Allerdale Borough Council’s Lakeside pay & display car park immediately adjacent to the theatre building. There are bus links with Ambleside to the south, Carlisle to the north, Penrith to the east and Cockermouth and Workington to the west.

The Jungle Book

Theatre by the Lake

A high-flying adventure for all the family…

Raised in the Indian jungle, Mowgli the man cub spends his boyhood days running wild with his wolf friends and hunting with the pack.

But Mowgli finds himself in great danger when a band of dastardly monkeys deliver him into the lair of the evil tiger, Shere Khan. With the help of his friends, Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, Mowgli manages to escape the tiger’s jaws.

Shere Khan will stop at nothing to ensnare Mowgli, and when he tries to turn the wolf pack against the man cub, Mowgli must summon the courage to face his enemy. To triumph, he must first learn the law of the jungle and discover who he truly is.

Based on the adored children’s classic by Rudyard Kipling, Theatre by the Lake is excited to present Jessica Swale’s acclaimed stage adaptation of The Jungle Book. Featuring loveable characters, catchy songs and charming puppetry, this playful tale of adventure, friendship and belonging is the perfect treat for all the family this Christmas.
