An adaptation of The Jungle Book that reimagines the journey of Mowgli through the eyes of a climate refugee is part of the programme at this year’s Edinburgh international festival, which shines a spotlight on themes of refugeehood and migration.
The outgoing festival director, Fergus Linehan, said the 75th anniversary programme was an opportunity to “pay tribute to our first artistic director, Rudolf Bing, a refugee of war in Europe”.
