Jack and the Beanstalk
Jack, his Mum and their cow Caroline live in the Kingdom of Lewishfarm and life is tough; the people are poorer, and the rich are getting richer.
Everyone is at the mercy of Giant Blunderbore and his evil cockroach henchman Boris (who, by the way, secretly wants to destroy humanity).
Will Jack fulfil his destiny? Will Caroline the Cow become a Tik Tok star? Will Jack’s Mum find love in the audience?
This is truly a pantomime for south London, with a kickin’ band, a funky Giant, magic beans, slapstick routines, laughs and silliness galore and plenty of boos, cheers and soulful songs you know and love to keep you singing all the way through!
Jack And The Beanstalk was the first in at least five years’ worth of pantos that Joy Productions are creating at Broadway Theatre, Catford specifically for the communities of South East London under the artistic leadership of Susie Mckenna (Associate Artist at Kiln Theatre, winner of Best Director at the Great British Pantomime Awards) and Olivier Award-winning producer and long-time Catford resident Julie Clare.
Paul Virides Productions provided consultant general management in the early stages of planning for this first pantomime, including working with Joy Productions to craft key systems and budgets, coordinating casting, and writing and negotiating the venue, cast and creative agreements. The production was ultimately general managed by Something For the Weekend.
