KickstArt rounds off the year with a fun-filled family romp: a brand new pantomime version of Jack and the Beanstalk, which comes to the Elizabeth Sneddon theatre from 29 November until 5 January.
“This time, our panto is a real adventure story with boisterous chases, meddling baddies and great visual tricks which will appeal to the boys; and with such a strong, independent princess, and lots of magic, it will appeal to the girls too!” says Steven Stead of KickstArt.
Written and directed by Steven Stead, Jack and the Beanstalk stars the supremely talented Rory Booth in the title role. The cast also features Jessica Sole as his feisty love interest, Princess Jillian, Darren King as his long-suffering, eccentric mother, Flora Flatbroke, Liesl Coppin as his evil nemesis, Lady Perfidia Beastly, Shelley MacLean as the good fairy, Glissanda Goldenvox, and Peter Court and Bryan Hiles reprising their hilarious performances as the two incompetent crooks, Cecil and Claude, making a comeback after their demise in Robin Hood. The larger than life giant is being played with gusto by Lyle Buxton.
Jack and the Beanstalk has amazing designs by Greg King, with lighting design by Tina le Roux, Musical Direction by Evan Roberts and Charon Williams Ros (Charon is also the vocal coach) and Choreography by Janine Bennewith.
