Jack and the Beanstalk
★★★★★
“If you want festive fun, belly laughs and a memorable family night out, this beanstalk is well worth climbing.”
~ Radio Exe
Following the runaway success of Dick Whittington and Cinderella, the panto dream team that is Exeter Northcott and Le Navet Bete take on the most enormous story of them all: Jack and the Beanstalk.
Laughs, thrills, spills, special effects and giant amounts of fun combine in a spectacular production for all ages. It’s the story you know and love in a version you’ll never forget.
Down on their Devon farm live Dame Trott, Bella the Cow, Jack and his sister Jill, all working hard and dreaming of pots of gold in the sky. But when they are sold some Magic Beans™️ by a strange and mysterious bean seller, their lives become decidedly less earthbound! Will the evil Fleshcreep cause havoc? Will Jack and Jill find true happiness? Will Dame Trott manage to climb the beanstalk in nine-inch heels?
There’s only one way to find out. Oh yes there is!
