Two shows for youngsters at the Theatre Royal over the half term break

The Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds has something to keep the family amused over the half term break.

The classic fairy-tale “Jack and the Beanstalk” along with “Pinocchio” is being staged at the town centre venue later this month.

“Jack and the Beanstalk” is presented by Lyngo Theatre featuring CBeebies Patrick Lynch. 

Expect lots of surprises and beautiful images as Patrick tells the gripping story of Jack who sells his cow for five magic beans and finds himself in the land above the clouds.

It’s a show for the over three’s (and their giants) with something for everyone – enormous shoes, tiny houses, showers of silver and gold and a big, leafy explosion and takes place from Sunday to Tuesday, February 20 to 22.

“Pinocchio” is a brand-new show from Stuff and Nonsense.

A wonderfully charming, family friendly show performed by fantastic actors who love music, movement and playfulness.

Stuff and Nonsense have taken this charming favourite and va va voomed it into a hugely entertaining theatrical treat, a recognisable tale full of new twists and surprises.

Expect delightful puppets and exciting physical performances, specially commissioned music and song, cleverly adaptable staging, comedy relevant to all ages and plenty of audience participation. 

It takes place from Friday to Sunday, February 25 to 27.

Children’s tickets for both performances are£9.50 (under 2’s go free) and bookings of four tickets or more attract a 10% discount.
