What Is The Story

A true classic of the panto repertoire, Jack and the Beanstalk is the story of young buck Jack, who heads to market to sell his hard-up family's last cow. But instead of coming up with some decent cash, the silly boy comes back with a handful of 'magic beans' much to his mother's chagrin.

Throwing them on the floor, she sends Jack to bed without any dinner. But during the night a massive beanstalk grows from the beans, leading to a huge castle. Jack sees his opportunity and climbs up, finding a fearsome Giant's home! Seeing his chance, he decides to lift a few items, including a magic harp and a goose that lays golden eggs. But the Giant isn't going to let this home invasion slide, leading to a massive adventure for Jack, his mother and the whole village!
