Jack and the Beanstalk

A drag pantomime comedy staged at the Emerald Theatre in London, retelling the story of Jack and the Beanstalk with an all-drag cast and adult humour.

Jack and the Beanstalk is a comedy in the pantomime tradition, presented by TuckShop and staged as a West End production. Written by Kate Butch, Crudi Dench and Eleanor Mason, and directed and created by Christopher D. Clegg, it retells the familiar tale of a boy whose best friend is a cow and who decides to sell him for a handful of beans.

The cast is entirely drag. Bones plays Jack, Kitty Scott-Claus plays Princess Jill, and Rosé and Kyran Thrax share the role of Fleshcreep. Kate Butch takes the part of Jack's Mother, with Yshee Black as Fairy Liquid, Dairy King as The Milkman, Cheryl Hole as Cheryl the Cow and Ophelia Love as Villager No. 4. Bones and Kyran Thrax are both Drag Race UK winners. The role of the Giant is given to a rotating line of guest performers over the run.

The tone is raucous and deliberately crude, with a lot of wordplay on the title, and the production is aimed at adult audiences. It comes from the team behind The Diana Mixtape, Death Drop, Cool Rider and Gals Aloud.
