Jack & The Beanstalks
Cast: Minimum 16 (with doubling)
Run time: 75minutes
When the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham threatens the enchanted lands, a chaotic alliance of storybook legends - together with Jack and SuperGran - must trade their individual fables for a shared mission to find the gold at the end of the beanstalk.
In a festive romp where fairytales merge, Jack, the 3 Little Pigs, Red Riding Hood, Snow White, A Golden Goose and SuperGran unite to defeat the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham and his furry sidekicks. Outsmarting wolves, navigating enchanted lands and battling Giants - fairytale magic makes anything possible!
And there’s always gold at the end of the Beanstalk!
