About Jack and the Beanstalk
Join Caroline the Highland Cow as she spills the beans on the classic fairy tale!
This winter, Caroline takes to the stage to bring a bold, fresh twist to Jack and the Beanstalk.
Starring a dynamic 10-strong ensemble of actor-musicians, this lively reimagining of the much-loved story is bursting with heart, humour, and catchy songs. A joyous celebration of friendship, community, and the little things that bring us together, it’s a festive treat for the whole family.
Written by acclaimed writing duo Jonathan O’Neill and Isaac Savage, this is Jack and the Beanstalk like you’ve never seen before - full of fun, surprises, and the Rep Christmas magic you know and love.
