It’s been a few years since I saw my last pantomime and this
one lived up to the memories. This amateur production by the Pantaloon group from Ennis opened on the 27th of December in Glór, Ennis and is their 11th pantomime and they bring; great acting
talent, fantastic musical numbers, up to date jokes and is a lovely spin on the
old classic Jack and the Beanstalk.

| Jack & the Beanstalk tale |
It starts in the way of the old tale. A poor family realise
they’re forced to sell their beloved cow to the highest bidder in order to pay
their cruel landlord lord flatulent. But the plot thickens Lord Flatulent sends
his nieces Lady and Gaga along to trick jack in to giving up the cow for some
“magic beans” so that the Lord can erect a giant statue of himself on their
land when he’s given them the boot. Many of you will know how the rest of the
story goes but for those who don’t I won’t give anymore away. More characters
are added the best being the unlikely superhero Unbelievableman.
Jack and the Beanstalk is a great treat for the whole
family. It’s got romance, peril, and the age old battle between good and evil.
Be sure to give it a look if you’re stuck for something to do with the kids of
all ages in the afternoon.
Contact Glór for details. The show runs till Saturday 31st December
Well done to the Pantaloons group
