The classic tale of magic beans, a giant, and treasure with a Panto twist. Written through a collaboration between Martin Holt and the cast, this play takes place in the little town of Cowrumpford which is terrorized by the evil giant Thunderbunz and his henchman. Jack trades his family’s cow for some valuable magic. His mother throws them out and a gigantic beanstalk appears the next morning. Jack must find the treasure and get back home without being captured by the giant. Full of classic Panto characters: a young hero, a good fairy, a villain or two, a dame, and plenty of audience participation. Fun for the whole family.

Produced by Havre Ford

Jan 24-Feb 8

Out-of-work musician Francis Henshall becomes separately employed by two men – Roscoe Crabbe, a gangster, and Stanley Stubbers, an upper class twit. Francis tries to keep the two from meeting, to avoid each of them learning about the other. Complicating events, Roscoe is really Rachel Crabbe in disguise, her twin brother Roscoe having been killed by her gangster boyfriend, Stanley. Complicating events still further is local mobster Charlie the Duck, who has arranged his daughter’s engagement to Roscoe despite her preference for an amateur actor. Even further complications are prompted by several letters, a very heavy trunk, several unlucky audience volunteers, an extremely elderly waiter and Francis’ pursuit of his twin passions: Dolly (Charlie’s feminist bookkeeper), and food.
