ABOUT THE SHOW
“Before I continue, I’d like to give you a proper greeting, the type of hello you’d receive if you came to visit any of our chimpanzees at Gombe.”
Jane Goodall. You know the name, but with no formal scientific training, how did she redefine our understanding of what it means to be human? Narrated by the animals, the men, the scientists and her mother–those who understood her and those who questioned her. We celebrate and explore the life of Jane Goodall in a cheeky, one-woman safari of a play by Aurora Real de Asua. Welcome to the jungle, the city, and really everywhere–a few steps ahead and behind Jane at all times.
