Synopsis

A nearly traditional tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, with a little help from Daisy the Cow, the Golden Goose, not one but TWO dames and a whole bunch of has-beens!

Jack and his mother, poor old Mrs O'Lantern, are in need of cash so Jack is sent to sell Daisy the Cow. Sadly he sells her for magic beans, much to the anger of his mother, and then life starts to get a bit weird. He meets some talking Beans, a lot of lovely but overly emotional Cloud People, the evil Mayor and Corporation and the world's smallest Giant on his travels, but it all works out in the end - well it wouldn't be panto if it didn't!
