Performance


A giant of a pantomime with a host of wonderful comedy characters.
The villagers of Greendale are under the cosh. The Giant Blunderbore, with the help of his evil sidekick, Grotviler, is bleeding them dry, and the pompous but terrified Mayor is kowtowing to the Giant’s will, taxing the villagers for all he is worth.
The good Fairy Haricot Vert arrives from France, to help Greendale’s downtrodden populous.
Dame Tilly Trot is suffering more than most. Her dairy isn’t doing very well and her sons, Jack and Simple Simon, don’t possess great business brains.
The only way to pay the Dame’s back‐taxes and rent arrears is to sell her cow, Buttercup, so Jack is sent to the market to get a good price.
When Jack returns, he hasn’t actually sold the cow for money!
Will the villagers and Mayor survive with the help of the fairy?
Will Dame Tilly, Jack and Simon pull through?
Come and find out at this well loved traditional pantomime.
