Panto comes to the Lyric Hammersmith this Christmas, after an absence of 30 years, as the classic fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk delivers an unusually large plant and some 'Fee fi fo fum' fun for all the family. The new direction can be put down to the Lyric's new artistic director, Sean Holmes, who has brought in Steve Marmion to direct. He draws on experience working with the National Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Company, the Soho Theatre and recent projects directing the acclaimed Edward Gant's Amazing Feats of Loneliness for Headlong and The Entire History of Cabaret at the Edinburgh Fringe. Expect a glittering set designed by Tom Scutt and a sparkling script from the quartet writing it: Richard Bean (England People Very Nice) and Che Walker ("a talent to watch" - The Guardian), Joel Horwood and comedy writer Morgan Lloyd Malcolm. The story is a familiar one with Jack selling his cow for some magic beans, growing a big stalk and climbing up to the giant's castle. But there will be plot twists in this top quality pantomime production to keep the audience on their toes.About Lyric Hammersmith
Frank Matcham's velvet and gilt theatre was saved from demolition - following a public outcry - by being carefully dismantled, moved from its location further down King Street and then rehoused on its current site. As a consequence, the Lyric Hammersmith's gorgeous Victorian auditorium is housed in a severely utlitarian concrete cube, above Kings Mall shopping centre. More about Lyric Hammersmith
