From the team behind Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick, this panto turns the classic tale on its head. Meet Jack Trott, who is very poor, very gay, and very horny, living with his mum on a dilapidated farm, miles away from the nearest Grindr user. When Jack sells their beloved cow for a handful of magic beans, his mum throws them in the compost—only to wake up to the biggest, thickest stalk they’ve ever seen. Will Jack meet a giant at the top? And if so, will he be all in proportion? This cheeky, magical musical adventure has all the fun of a panto, but definitely not for all the family!
