Jack and the Beanstalk

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

Fee-fi-fo-fum, a festive treat for everyone! In 2024 the Cornwall Playhouse is going green with a giant production of this fairytale classic - perfect for kids of all ages and anyone who's ever dreamed of striking it rich. The team who brought you Peter Pan in 2023 return with hapless Jack, his dear old Mum and their beloved cow as they throw caution (and magic beans) to the wind. Join our heroes as they head for the clouds to explore a mysterious beanstalk that's taken root faster than a Kernow cabbage. Where will the plant lead, can Jack save the family's fortunes and who last sharpened the axe? Expect giants, golden eggs, a sackful of plant-based jokes and more festive fun than you can shake a beanstalk at, as we set off on an unforgettable feelgood adventure.
