Dame Trott and her son Jack are facing financial ruin. To pay the rent, they have to sell their beloved cow, Pattie. Instead, Jack swaps Pattie for a handful of beans, and the resulting beanstalk brings with it giant problems. The performance is a hilarious take on the classic tale. As with all traditional British pantomimes, prepare for some colourful and crazy fun. The kids will enjoy the show, but the adults will love the story just as much, if not more. There's innuendo for the adults and silliness for the children. The performance promises action, songs, and audience participation.
