PLUMPTON PANTOMIME SOCIETY - JACK and the BEANSTALK

1975 was a momentous year in Plumpton history. It was the year that a small group of people (who really should have known better) got together under the wing of the PTFA of the local school to put on a pantomime. Their rendition of ‘Puss in Boots’ passed into folklore and a legend was born. Jack and the Beanstalk was followed by Cinderella which was followed by Aladdin followed by Dick Whittington and so on in an uninterrupted flow down to this day. (Even during the lockdown years the society managed to produce an online pantomime!).

We endeavour to take our audience far away from the four walls of the Village Hall and on a journey through the unique world of pantomime, providing an evening of romance, laughter and song. 2025 marked our 50th anniversary, and as we look forward to the next 50 years  we invite you to join us on our next adventure!

Greetings once more – what a pleasant surprise. Is it that time of year again?  Cor, how time flies! 
Down in the village of Old Windy Bottom, a huge black cloud has appeared in the skies above, much to the annoyance of good Fairy Sugardust. And now the children have started to disappear, spreading fear amongst the villagers, whilst Piccalilli, the Wicked Witch, seems to be in her element.  

“Once happiness reigned here – that made me defiant, So I cast me a spell which created the Giant. His name’s Buster Gut-Bucket – bad as they come, For when he is cross, he shouts Fee fi fo fum!”  She gloats.

And so, the scene is set for our story of adventure, romance and heroism. Simple Simon is tricked by a pedlar, the Princess is abducted by the Giant and Jack, the son of Dame Dotty Dimple, heads for the skies in an attempt to rescue his sweetheart.

Will Jack reach the Princess?  Will the Giant set her free? We’re not going to spill the beans right now, so come along and find out for yourself!
This lively, laughter-filled production promises something for everyone: toe-tapping musical numbers and dance routines, dazzling costumes, plenty of slapstick comedy, and, of course, the classic pantomime mix of heroes, villains, and unexpected twists. SEE YOU THERE.
