The Madrid Players is proud to produce this brilliant and funny pantomime which is sure to be a delight for all members of the family at the Teatro Salesianos Estrecho on 12, 13 and 14 December.
When an ancient curse threatens the village of Bottomley with chaos, climate change, and catastrophic cow-based incidents, one unlikely hero must step up. He’s afraid of heights. He’s afraid of giants. He’s barely got a plan.
Armed with nothing but courage, a talking cow, and a band of cloud-dwelling warriors, Jack Twankey must face his destiny: climb the beanstalk, confront the giant, and break the curse once and for all. But evil doesn’t fight fair. It has a goose. A golden goose.
With epic battles, soaring songs, dad jokes at dangerous altitudes, and a cameo from a chainsaw-wielding tech billionaire, this is the legend of the Beanstalk like you’ve never seen it before.
Storms will rage. Giants will roar. Beanstalks will talk. Milk will turn to chocolate.
Bottomley needs a hero. Unfortunately, all they’ve got... is Jack.
The Madrid Players is Madrid’s largest and oldest English-language amateur theatre group, staging productions throughout the year, as well as social events, workshops and other activities. Founded 60 years ago, it is made up of actors, writers, directors, designers,
builders, technicians and producers who aim to promote and deliver high-quality theatre in the city. Their audience is vibrant and varied.
Recent productions have ranged from Shakespeare to variety nights, modern plays to old
classics and new writing to large scale shows. The year culminates in the Christmas
pantomime, which has become a highlight in the city’s cultural calendar and attracts a very
large audience of English-speaking residents, Spanish families, professionals and students alike.
