Jackie’s family has lived under the shadow of the great giant for years. Tales of the huge, terrifying man living in the sky and coming down a beanstalk have been passed down for generations. But Jackie wants to find out the truth for herself.

In a brand new and contemporary adaptation of the famous fairy tale, Jackie breaks free of the fear that has held her family captive, and learns not to be afraid of things she doesn’t know yet. With a show packed full of stunning circus moments, shadow puppets and beanstalk climbing action , be prepared to reimagine what you know about giants.

Jack and the Beanstalk is directed by Kaveh Rahnama, who created the much-loved, sell-out shows, The Party and Pinocchio, as well as last year’s stunning production of A Christmas Circus Fairytale.

Suitable all the family (recommended for 3+)

Relaxed performances on Friday 16 December at 1:30pm and Thursday 22 December at 2pm
