Jack and the Beanstalk - 10, 12 & 13 December 2008
Little Berkhamsted’s Stage School once again pulled out all the stops for their annual panto, with the wonderful production of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ on 10th, 12th and 13th December.
Playing to enthusiastic audiences of all ages, with a full house for the final show, the cast and production team provided a most memorable occasion. Clearly enjoying themselves to the full, the cast brought new life to the well known story line with a fizzy mixture of topical humour, ‘creative interpretation’ of the script, and - above all - a real enthusiasm for the great traditions of Pantomime.
With the scene set by the excellent Stranger and Junior, Jack and his Mother expertly took the plot forward. Penelope the Cow played her heart out and Dame Isobel - in her key role - somehow managed to maintain the structure of the script whenever ad-libbing broke out around her! Meanwhile, Harp entranced us all. The awesome Giant (can such tall actors really exist?) frightened the life out of everyone and his Wife was truly a sight to behold! And, amidst all of this, Jack’s ‘prompt’ put in a performance that was simply heroic.
The performances on stage were more than complemented by the skills of those who provided the artistry for the inventive scenery, the stunning costumes, the dramatic lighting and musical effects. And as ever, the expertise and dedication of the Stage School Director shone through the entire production. Photos of the show are on the village web site. Congratulations to everyone involved.
Proceeds went to the worthy local charity Christmas Alone, so many thanks to everyone who supported the event. And to those who didn’t make it, you missed a real treat. So - book early for next year!
