A strange-looking plant has taken root on the stage at Fraddon Village Hall – and it’s a fair bet some enterprising local youth will be along any moment now to try to climb it.

Yes, Jack will be heading up the beanstalk and all the usual mayhem will ensue when St Enoder Pantomime Society returns to the boards this weekend.

A cast of 28 star in Jack and the Beanstalk, directed by Curtis Danby and Aaron Hinton and supported by a seven-strong back-stage crew.

“There are lots of local references in the show and lots of fun for all the family,” said Aaron.

The curtain goes up for a matinee on Sunday, February 19 at 2.15pm and then there are performances each evening at 7.15pm from Monday, February 20 to Saturday, February 25.
