Synopsis:
Life is hard for the Trott family, so Jack is sent by his mother to sell Daisy the cow at the market. Instead of this, he swops her for a bag of 'magic' beans and in disgust his mother throws them out of the window. Overnight a huge beanstalk grows and in the morning, Jack decides to climb it and reaching the top, finds a huge castle where a fierce giant lives.
Jack's adventures continue as he outwits the giant, finds Daisy and becomes fabulously rich, enabling him to marry the girl of his dreams and for them to all live happily ever after.
PLAYWRIGHT: June Colledge (Club Member). The script was adapted from June's mother's (Marjorie Ristorie's) own professional pantomimes.
