★★★★ “Everything a panto should be: wildly entertaining, fast-paced, ridiculous, outrageous, and most crucially ‘theatre for the people'”
Corr Blimey
Recommended Show: “With a live band on stage and the boundless energy of the entire cast to behold, an audience well up for the night made it a night to remember”
Fringe Review
The cow Jack! The blooming Cow! The milkman’s dirty secret! The udder from another mother! The big creamy horse! The bovine brethren from the larger taxonomic family bovidae that specialises in processing fibrous vegetation through fermentation! The cow! The goddamn mothermilkin’ cow!
Dame Trott
In a magical land (Trongate), the Trotts face eviction from their tenement flat by the evil King Stefan. Sent to market to sell their beloved cow in an attempt to make rent, Jack instead makes a dodgy investment (Beancoin). The beanstalk will rise, but will the Trott family rise to the challenge?
