Kickstart rounds off the year with a
fun-filled family romp: a brand new pantomime version of Jack and the Beanstalk which comes to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre
over the festive season
Written and directed by Steven Stead, Jack and the Beanstalk stars the
supremely talented Rory Booth in the title role. The cast also features Jessica
Sole as his love interest, Princess Jillian; Darren King as his long-suffering,
eccentric mother, Flora Flatbroke; Liesl Coppin as his evil nemesis, Lady
Perfidia Beastly; Shelley MacLean as the good fairy, Glissanda Goldenvox, and
Peter Court and Bryan Hiles reprising their hilarious performances as the two
incompetent crooks, Cecil and Claude, making a comeback after their demise in Robin Hood.
Jack
and the Beanstalk has performances from Tuesday to
Sunday at 14h30 (Saturday 19h00) from November 29 to January 5. Tickets
R200/R150/R130 (R150/R130/R100 children under 12 and pensioners, depending on
