Jack and the Beanstalk

Carriageworks’ traditional family pantomime follows Jack, daughter of Dame Trott, as she plants mysterious beans and climbs into a cloud world with a giant.

When the Trott family faces hard times, Jack takes a chance on mysterious beans and discovers a world above the clouds, where she faces danger and a grumpy giant.
