Jack and the Giant Beanstalk Written by Linda Daugherty in 1996 Performed by the Sandisfield Players and friends

This play was written for the Dallas Children’s Theater Company, one of America’s most prestigious children’s theater groups. In 1997-8 they toured the play to 45 major American cities. Our version is a lively mix of children and adults. The play has everything: a shipwreck, the sad story of Jack’s lost father and the resulting family poverty, Jack’s band of young friends; and the wily peddler who gets Jack to part with the family cow and remaining money for a bag of magic beans. BUT the beans really ARE magical, and Jack climbs into the Giant’s world and meets the harassed, constantly cooking, normal-sized wife, a crazy opera-singing lady harpist, a gigantic neurotic golden-egglaying chicken and a mysterious prisoner in the Giant’s dungeon.
