The Australian Shakespeare Company brings the magical adventure of
Jack and the Beanstalk to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, inviting
families to experience a joyful day of outdoor theatre.
Presented in a relaxed picnic theatre style with all the charm of a classic
pantomime, this delightfully interactive, laugh-out-loud production invites
audiences of all ages to join the adventure.
Making its UK debut, Glenn Elston’s adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk
is full of laughter, imagination, and audience interaction. This beloved story
brings classic characters to life in the beautiful surrounds of The Royal
Botanic Gardens, Kew. Giggle at the Goose on the Loose, hunt for the
Golden Eggs, meet the Fairy Godmother, enjoy the Magic Harp, sing along
with Daisy the Cow, and help Jack defeat the Giant once and for all.
Reflecting on over 40 years of creating outdoor theatre experiences, Glenn
Elston OAM says, “There is nothing more rewarding than watching
families come together to laugh, play, and create lifelong memories
through live theatre.”
Jack and the Beanstalk is an enchanting adventure for audience members
of all ages, bursting with magical moments, theatrical surprises, and an
unforgettable outdoor theatre experience the whole family will cherish.
Best of all, each theatre ticket include access to Kew Gardens, so
audiences can enjoy an idyllic day exploring Kew’s 320 acres of iconic
glasshouses and spectacular seasonal displays followed by a theatrical
production in the sunshine.
