There is some fun on the way \u2013 or is it up the beanstalk \u2013 when the cast from Jack and the Tangled Beanstalk <\/i><\/span>will be on stage this coming week. This time Xander Steyn will make an appearance \u2013 in full drag make up, high heels and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This talented writer and producer created another theatrical comedy with local actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steyn says that he is probably the only person crazy enough to attempt two productions per year with day-job-civilians who do not even have to do an audition to be part of his theatre school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEveryone gets a role! No matter how small. I always tell my students: Don\u2019t count your lines, but make your lines count!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Jack and the Tangled Beanstalk<\/i> is a mash-up of the old folk tales Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel \u2013 which Disney used as storyline in the film Tangled<\/i><\/span>\u2013 and the Avengers<\/i> even make an appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xander says audiences can expect big characters, big costumes and big group numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the story we meet Gothel and her older sister, Gretel,\u201d he explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey tell the story of how their mother gave them each a precious gift on her death bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGretel (the eldest) received beans that didn\u2019t do anything and Gothel received seeds that bloomed into a magical flower with healing powers that kept her young forever. Until the pregnant queen became sick and the kingdom found Gothel\u2019s flower and used it to heal the sick queen. Rapunzel was born who now had the power of the magic flower within her blonde bush of hair. Gothel then kidnapped the girl and raised her as her own in a tower with no stairs to keep her safe \u2013 and away from the kingdom who desperately searched to find her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, Jack lived in the countryside with his adopted mother, M\u00f4 Jacky. She sends him to town to sell his dear friend and cow, Cremora. This is where he meets Gretel who tricks him into trading the cow for her magic (useless) beans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe rest you\u2019ll have to see when you watch the show.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main shows wil take place at the Rabbit Studio on Thursday (24\/11) 19:00, Friday, 25 November at 19:00 and Saturday 16:00 and 19:00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets are R100 on rabbithouse.co.za under events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will also be shows with primary and high school students. On Friday (18\/11) at 19:00, it will be the high school group 1 and on Sunday (20\/11) at 16:00 group 2. These tickets cost R80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday (19\/11) the three primary school groups will have their shows at 13:00, 16:00 and 19:00. These tickets cost R50.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
