Written by Alison Mead Harvey and directed by Lee Price and Lawry Thomas, this year's spectacular is traditional favourite 'Jack and the Beanstalk' - a fabulous tale of love, adventure and magical beans!

The gruesome Giant Igyn (Harley Simmons)  and his evil partner in crime, Poison Ivy (Stacey Powell) set out to blackmail the King (James Stuart) and his daughter Princess Rose (Emma Coates) into paying protection money to avoid being gobbled up!

All that stands between the giant making a meal out of the royals is an unreliable collection of misfits; from the wannabe hero, Idle Jack (Edie Leafe), dizzy Dame Trott (Keith Fielding) and Dozy Den (Kelly Leafe), to Buttercup the Cow (Logan Wilson & Ruby Powell), Faith the Housekeeper (Gemma Patt) and a whole host of village folk.

Can the good Fairy Cadi (Tara Simmons) help to save the day, or will Giant Igyn have his way?

There's only one way to find out - be sure to grab your tickets from Hafod Hardware - adults £8, children £4.

You can also pay on the door. Doors open 30 minutes before curtain up.
