Jack Bean and his Grandmother are very poor and live in a tiny cottage in the village of Soggy Bottom. One day Granny decides to send Jack to market to sell her faithful old cow, Daisy.
While Jack is on his way to market, he meets an old woman who buys Daisy from him
for a purse full of beans. When Jack returns home, Granny throws the
beans into the garden. During the night the beans grow into a giant beanstalk. In time honoured tradition, Jack climbs the beanstalk to the
Giant’s castle, where he meets Lima, the Giant’s slave-girl, who helps him to escape.
As with all good pantomimes, everyone lives happily ever after. The other colourful
characters include Jasper, an ancient yokel; Harry Coe, the wicked Squire; Fetch and Carry, the squire's bailiffs; Mrs Mungus, the Giant’s wife; and of
course, Hugh Mungus, the Giant. There are twelve main characters, plus pantomime cow and chorus.
Running time approximately 120 minutes
Traditional, family panto with something for everyone, whether
they are nine or ninety.... The perfect end to the Christmas season.
