Our most accessible show ever – Jack And The Beanstalk!

The team behind the smash hit Peter Pan are back with a GIANT pantomime extravaganza! Jack and the Beanstalk is going to be bigger and better than ever before. And we're kicking things off with our widest Access provision yet, including a new Assisted Performance format - a Chilled Performance.

The Cornwall Playhouse Production of Jack And The Beanstalk runs throughout December 2024 and promises to be a festive feast for Cornish audiences.

Assisted Performances for Jack And The Beanstalk will include BSL Interpreted, Captioned, Audio Described, Touch Tours, Relaxed Performances and, for the first time, a Chilled Performance, designed to allow for noise and movement in the theatre, with a re-entry policy allowing anyone who may need time away from the performance at any time.

Alongside the new Chilled Performance on Sunday 8th December at 11am there will also be Relaxed Performances available for family audiences and, for the first time, a dedicated Relaxed Performance for schools. Relaxed Performances take a similarly flexible approach to audience noise and movement, but also includes technical changes with adjustments to lighting, sound and pyrotechnic effects for those with sensory sensitivities.

 "We've listened to representatives from Cornish disability groups, schools and our community and are really pleased to be presenting a broader range of Assisted Performances this year. We're committed to providing a supportive atmosphere for our audiences, enabling the greatest number of people in Cornwall to experience the magic of theatre. We'll keep working on this, continuing dialogue with audiences and advocacy groups, deepening access to, and enjoyment of, what HfC does. And for anyone who hasn't booked tickets yet, I can tell you, I've read the script and Jack And The Beanstalk is going to be a giant festive celebration for everyone... oh yes it is!"

- Jack And The Beanstalk Producer and HfC Deputy Creative Director, Helen Tiplady
