Jack and the Beanstalk
by Educate Magazine January 18, 2016 · Gallery
Two Liverpool schools, West Derby School and Holly Lodge Girls’ College performed their rock and roll version of the famous tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. The retitled, ‘Jack and No Beanstalk’ took a modern slant on the old pantomime favourite. This joint school collaboration offered the audience all the codes and conventions of standard pantomime, but with double the laughs. It was witty, engaging and superbly played by the inclusive collection of actors and musicians from both schools,
who provided a great night’s entertainment for friends and family.
