Jack and
the Beanstalk
Stephen Hill
Methodist Church, Sheffield, produced this year’s show of Jack and the
Beanstalk. Written/directed by Tom Albans, co-director/producer Tom Garth,
Paul Nelson, Claire Gill.
Jack and his family are very poor, and need money to pay for their rent money to
the King. The only way to make money is to sell their beloved Daisy (their
cow). So Jack has to go to the market and sell Daisy. Finally Jack sells
Daisy to Merlin, a magician with some magic beans.
With a temper from Jacks mum, she throws them in their garden. The
following morning a giant beanstalk grew to the sky. With this beanstalk,
Jack, his mum and sister hoped there was joy to bring at the top off this
beanstalk. But before Jack begins his climb, Merlin appears and tells them
the real reason for the beanstalk.
10 Years ago, Merlin had developed the beanstalk and grew it himself with his
magic. He climbed with his friends but they met with large giant.
With a panic Merlin managed to climb down but without his friends. The
beanstalk disappeared as the magic wore off. Due to this, Merlin had his
magic taken off him.
So with Jack with
his beanstalk they could save Merlin’s friends and receive a marvelous award.
No not money, but the hand of the Kings daughter, and a
new home for he’s sister and mother.
