Looking for seating advice for The Jungle during its run at St Anns Warehouse, for anyone that saw it in London, any advice as to the best spot to sit, the seating chart is kind of all over the place.

I was just looking at the seating chart. I don't know the venue but it looks like it is small enough that they've dispensed with the 'regular' seating (which was a mezzanine in London). The show is fully immersive (not participatory but immersive) so you will want to take advantage of it. I sat in Afghanistan front row which was spectacular - there is a little twisting and turning and people will occasionally lay hands on you, to jump off stage etc.
The sections marked Syria and Kurdistan were, in London - at stage level - sitting on the stage with a few pillows (as you would at a hookah type place)
You're best off with first rows in Afghanistan, Sudan, or Somalia probably. Anyway - you can't go wrong. I'm envious. All I want to do is see this play again.
Enjoy

According to Theatremonkey, which is a comprehensive British seat info/rating website, the best seats in the house on the West End, for overall view, are those in the 2 Somalia rows. I decided to go full-on immersive, though, and I bought a seat at the corner of the runway in Afghanistan. With a top premium price of $51 ($66-76 on weekends and toward the end of the run), this seems like one of the best bargains in NYC theatre. Very excited to see this show at the end of December!
