This entertaining version of Jack and the Beanstalk returns to the original English source, The History of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean. All the familiar characters are here: The dancing cow, the magic bean-seller, the hysterical chicken, the singing harp, the mother, the Giant. There are also zany villagers and a silly kitchen staff at the Giant’s castle. The Giant’s name is Gogmagog and he’s a horrible person. He even locks up the kingdom’s ruler. When Jack sells the cow for those magic beans the fun really begins. Jack goes up the beanstalk and into the castle where he not only fights Gogmagog but a spiteful Troll as well. By the play’s end the cow is returned, the chicken learns how to lay golden eggs and the good life returns to the kingdom — thanks to Jack.

The old tale... utilizes a great deal of stage action and physical comedy which will keep younger audiences interested while older audiences enjoy the ludicrous humor. Plays for Children and Young Audiences
What I love about this story is that it’s about overcoming obstacles and he’s doing it for his family. There’s also Jack’s imagination that supports his belief that the beans will do something magical. It’s important for kids to have and use their imaginations... There’s a neat message in ‘Jack’ about people fighting for something larger than themselves, trying to save others... Gretta Berghammer,University of Northern Iowa professor of theater
