Jack and the Beanstalk: What a Whopper!
Tour synopsis, cast & creatives
Jack never wanted to join the circus, but most nights he dreams of a big top! By day he helps his poor mum run their dilapidated dairy farm ten miles from the nearest Grindr user, but hungry for city thrills from drag brunches to darkrooms, he sells their cow for a handful of magic beans. When his mum throws them in the compost, the next morning Jack wakes to the longest, thickest, firmest stalk he's ever seen. Could it be the answer to their dreams? A profoundly silly and joyously naughty magical adventure, Jack and the Beanstalk: Looking for the Top is a dazzling adults-only pantomime from the team behind Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick! and the legendary Above The Stag Theatre gay pantos. It's everything a panto should be - just not for all the family!
