Martin Collis and the cast of children in Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and the Beanstalk is coming to Tonbridge, and local man Martin Collis will appear for the second year running in this popular pantomime being staged at the Angel Centre on Friday December 14 at 7.30, and Saturday December 15 with three performances at 11am, 2.30 and 6.30pm

The spectacular Pantomime is produced by the local Drama Group, The CLIPS Theatre Company, and Martin rejoins the cast in the role of Simon Trott, the brother of Jack, who defeats the larger than life giant living at the top of the beanstalk.

The legendary fairytale will have all the fantastic pantomime humour and foot tapping songs we all know so well. So go along, be entertained, enjoy a boo and hiss and have a thoroughly rip roaring time.

All proceeds from the pantomime go to local charities. Tickets are £10 for Adults and £8 for Concessions. A family ticket is £30 for a family of four. All are available from the Angel Centre Box Office 01732 359966
