Synopsis
The kingdom is in trouble! Giant Blunderbore and his partner in crime, the evil witch, Poison Ivy are blackmailing the royal family, forcing them to pay protection money or else the Giant will gobble them up! All that stands between the Royals and the Giant's dinner plate is collection of unreliable misfits!
There is the dizzy Dame Trott, facing eviction from her dairy, her son Idle Jack, a day dreamer who is waiting for his destiny to find him, Dozy Den, the incompetent village idiot and the lovable cow, Buttercup (who probably has more brains than the rest of them put together!).
Can this motley gang save the kingdom from destruction and beat the beastly Giant and the wicked Witch? What can Fairy Beansprout do to help them?

Characters
Idle Jack
The hero. An idle, dreamy fellow who climbs beanstalks.
Princess Rose
The leading female and love interest. Daughter of the King. The object of Jack's desires. Kidnapped by the Giant and the Witch. Not a wet girl!
Dame Trott
Jack's Mother. A penniless milk maid well past her prime. The traditional Dame.
The King
A ludicrous royal with little material means. Provides comic relief with his Prime Minister. Forced to raise taxes because of the Giant's demands so is not really a baddie! Ends up joining the others to climb the beanstalk when his daughter is kidnapped.
Fairy Beansprout
The 'good' supernatural element. Speaks in rhyme. Clever and dazzling.
Dozy Den
Simple Simon / link man character and the adopted foundling of the Dame. A total berk! His mother is the Housekeeper in the Giant's castle.
The Giant Blunderbore
The horrible Giant who lives in the castle in the clouds. Amplified voice - in costume. Appears in Act 2 only so can join the chorus in Act 1.
Poison Ivy
The evil supernatural baddie, in league with the Giant and a nasty piece of work. Will also speak in rhyme when sparring with the Good Fairy.
The Prime Minister
The Kings Prime Minister. Part of the double act with the King. Since the Kingdom is so poor he performs all the royal servant and official duties wearing a range of hats / props for each.
Buttercup the cow
The loveable and cute cow. All mooing, all dancing! The players can join the chorus in 'non-cow' scenes if required.
The Giant's Housekeeper
The Housekeeper in the castle. She is the long lost mother of Dozy Den, separated a long time ago. Act 2 only. Can join the chorus in Act 1.
Chorus
Villagers, Dancers, Prisoners, Animals, Guards etc. The script includes a number of small speaking parts and plenty of chorus lines that can be shared out. Chorus members will also need to play the Magic Harp and the Spider.
