Plans for the annual pantomime at the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven are well under way and this year it will be Jack and the Beanstalk, with a twist.

It will feature a beanstalk reaching high into the sky above Milford Haven, blueberry pies and magical rainbows in Cloud Land, as well as Pat, the delightful dairy cow who goes off on a trot to Carew car-boot sale.

The panto will have the usual audience participation, a Good Fairy, the likable Trott Family and, of course, some naughty baddies to boo and hiss at.

The cast will be announced soon and will take to the stage over the Christmas period under the watchful eye of Torch Theatre’s artistic director Chelsey Gillard.

Chesley said: “Jack and the Beanstalk is one of my all-time favourite tales – I’ve been working on the script since Beauty and the Beast ended, so I’m bursting with excitement to get started with the design.

Kevin Jenkins has returned to the Torch for the third time to work on Jack and the Beanstalk.

Kevin said: “Jack and the Beanstalk is a really colourful show. The set is cheerful and bright and will be the perfect backdrop for the riot of fun and laughter that the cast will present to the audience. There are numerous costume changes for the Dame and plenty of smiles to be had.”

Jack and the Beanstalk is on from December 13 to 29 with matinee and evening performances.
