Garden delight

There are varmints, a villain and one very vain bird hanging out in The Garden of Rikki Tikki Tavi, a funny, madcap adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale of mongoose vs. cobra. In this version that emphasizes friendship and cooperation, Rikki is a young mongoose who stumbles into the garden territory of Darzee, a rather entitled diva bird; Chuchu, a sweet but rather dim muskrat; and the dangerous Cobra Nag. This production captures the essence of exotic India through beautiful sets, costumes and music.
