Beanstalk

HOTA Presents

Spare Parts Theatre

Thu 25 - Fri 26 Sep
Beanstalk

Everyone knows Jack’s story, but what about the giant’s?

Everyone knows Jack’s story, but what about the giant’s? Do we really know what happened that day when Jack unexpectedly barged into the giant’s kitchen? Was it the grim fee-fi-fo-fum bone-crunching tale we’ve all grown up with, or is there a different story waiting to be told?

Beanstalk is the hilarious retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk told from the giant’s point of view. Step into Brian’s cloud-making kitchen where he cooks up carrots, fluffy clouds and a few stories from his not-so-easy life as a giant.

Funny, unapologetically playful and utterly charming, Beanstalk will have you laughing at the antics of a loaf of bread (Jack), reeling in horror at the squishing of a tomato (a villager), and marvelling at the clever trickery that brings the magic of cloud creation to life.

Recommended ages 5-11

​Brian the Giant has very big feet, and now he needs your help to decorate them!

As the new theatre show Beanstalk gets ready to stomp onto the stage, we need your help to create a trail of giant footprints into the theatre.

Bring this footprint to life with your brightest colours and wildest ideas! The ten most creative designs will be turned into GIANT floor stickers that lead the way to the show. Each artist whose design is selected will also receive a magical prize.

All other entries will be displayed on our Footprint Wall of Fame for everyone to enjoy.

To enter this competition, download the footprint template and create your design. Send your submissions to rachael.edwards@experiencegoldcoast.com. Submissions close 29th of August.
