Hide AdIrchester Players are taking on the mighty Jack and the Beanstalk with its annual pantomime production in February.
Beginning its three-day run on February 8, there will be five showings, with two on February 11. Curtains are up at 7.30pm on four days, save for the first showing on the final day which will be at 2pm.
Director Alex McKenzie said: “The show is going to be a huge laugh throughout. The cast and crew are working incredibly hard to put this wonderful performance together, and we can’t wait for the audiences to come and see it!”

Hide AdChris Taylor, who is playing Jack, said: “It’s been a lot of fun rehearsing for Jack and the Beanstalk, and hopefully this comes across in our performances too.
"I am most excited for the audiences to come along and see how hard we’ve been working on a great show, and have as much fun watching as we do performing.”
Jack and the Beanstalk was also the chosen story for The Castle in Wellingborough over the holiday season, which a Northants Telegraph reporter said was ‘genuinely hilarious, with slapstick sketches and silliness’. The Irchester Players, a staple of Northamptonshire’s arts, has a lot to live up to, but being an organisation of over 40 years it is surely up to the task.
All tickets are £10, and can be booked in advance here.
Group bookings of 10 plus should email [email protected].
