Jack and His Big Stalk
(Adult Only Pantomime)

Winner of "Adventurous Theatre 2022"
Association of Community Theatre (ACT UK)

Debuted December 2022

Cast: 7 Principals, 5M 2F

"The Script was cleverly written by Steven Oliver-Grant, who obviously has a talent for writing this kind of genre. He used the familiar story of a widow down on her luck that has to sell the family cow for beans. There was the slap stick kitchen scene, the prat falls, and the resolution of a happy ending but it is down to the actors to bring the words to life"

PLOT

The Wanky Family, a poorer family of the town hit disaster when their beloved family cow, Plough, doesn't produce milk anymore - everyone's had a go. Jack and Jerk are ordered to go and sell the cow at the market by their mother, Dame Wanky, but Jack has a date with the Princess JellyBean so needs to rush back. The evil witch, Miss Phyliss tries to delay Jack to ensure he doesn't meet the Princess later but Jerk kindly offers to take Plough, much to Miss Phyliss' frustration. 

The story is narrated by the Hairy Fairy, a good fairy that appears drunk most of the time but who controls the storyline well. Dame Wanky now decides to open a bakery in the family home to generate an income but Jerk appears with magic beans. The beans eventually grow and the family climb up to the Giants kingdom to rescue the Princess that was taken from them to find other lost treasures have also been taken by the perverted giant. The magical storyline contains a tonne of sexual references and innuendoes throughout to keep the adult audience entertained.
