Jack and the Beanstalk

Written and directed by Leah Bell

Beaver Ridge Campsite has a GIANT problem.

Every night, the sound of GIANT footsteps, causes treetops to tremble, windows to wobble and clouds to collide bringing GIANT rainstorms across the Enchanted Forest. Sometimes a GIANT voice is heard booming across the sky.

Visitors have stopped coming to the campsite so no one has any work and the village is running out of money. Pretty soon everyone will be poor.

Dame Tilly Trot thinks the noise is coming from Giant Grumblebum who was banished to live in the Kingdom of Clouds where he has slept for one hundred years. He must have been disturbed last Bonfire Night when a particularly loud banger went off, shattering the peace and quiet of the Woodlands.

The Lord Mayor Tommy Tomato calls an emergency meeting of the townsfolk telling everyone to be on the lookout for any signs of the Giant.

Forest Rangers Sidney Sprout and Holly Bush patrol the area, Robin Hood searches the Forest, Red Riding Hood watches the Withering Woods, Big Mac the Cow marshals the meadows and Jack Beansprout teaches the woodland animals to dance! As if that would help!

Suddenly the arrival of a new visitor Madame Cowella Daville throws everyone into a tailspin and a GIGANTIC adventure begins.

Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum…beware of Giant Grumblebum!

Packed full of adventure, fun, dazzling costumes, hit songs, audience participation, and all your favourite characters – don’t miss our giant panto that’s Fe-Fi-Fo-Fun!
