JACKIE AND THE BEANSTALK
For five nights only, this weird, whacky and wonderful beloved children’s story, Jack and the Beanstalk, is reprised and rejuvenated to a belly dancing, sci-fi inspired story.
Jack turns into Jackie and as she explores the unknown world in outer space. She meets some interesting characters including her cow, robot and two alien chicks.
“The traditional storyline of Jack and the Beanstalk still applies,” says director, actor and writer Ruth Jost, “But with a twist!”
In it’s eighth year running, sci-fi aficionados and families of all ages should be prepared for what the King Street Theatre Company has in stall.
“We’re very excited to have this show for five nights and are anticipating a fantastic turn out.”
The music will also set the scene and ambiance. With traditional belly dancing music in the ordinary world, the music will be transformed and enlightened by electric music in outer space.
“When I was younger I watched a few pantomimes that excited and inspired me,” Jost explains, “And I wanted to be able to put a twist on my show and hope the audience enjoys it as much as I do.”
The King Street Theatre will ignite the imagination and inspiration of each audience member and will take them out of this world. (EV)
