Royston Town Pantomime 2020: Jack and the Beanstalk

The 2020 Royston Town Pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk has been written by Tom Whalley (who wrote this year's hilarious Robinson Crusoe and the Pirates). Fearless juvenile Jack, his ‘daft-as-a-brush’ brother Simple Simon, and his long suffering mother Dame Trott live in a tiny cottage in the shadow of the terrible giant Blunderbore. With the rent overdue they have no choice but to sell their beloved pet cow Daisy. After tricking the Trotts into selling her for a bag of worthless beans, the villainous henchman Fleshcreep kidnaps the Princess for the giant's supper... Could Jack be the hero the village has been waiting for? Will he be able to rescue Daisy and Princess Jill in time? Perhaps those beans aren't as worthless as they seemed!

Performances are at 7.30 on Friday 24, Saturday 25 and Friday 31 January and Saturday 1 February, and there are matinee performances at 2.00 on the two Saturdays. Tickets for the panto will go on sale for the first time, as is traditional, at the King James Academy Royston (KJAR) Christmas Fair on Sunday 17 November. The Fair runs from 10.0 to 3.00 at KJAR Junior Site (formerly Greneway School).
