JACK and THE BEANSPROUT Opens 29 Nov 2006 7:30 pm, with 2:30pm matinees on weekend Drama Centre Theatre @ National Library, Level 3 $20+
W!LD RICE proudly presents Jack & the Beansprout!, a brand new musical-comedy-pantomime about dreams, a mother’s love,, Giants, honesty, greed and the perils of keeping up with the Tans, Dawoods and Sallehs.
Life’s a drag for Jack and his poor mother Widow Neo - the cupboard is bare, there are bills to pay and the loan sharks are circling. With the writing literally on the void-deck walls, they finally resort to selling Ah Kow, their beloved pet cow. But when Jack exchanges their pet for a mere handful of green beans instead of cold hard cash, disaster looms …
That is … until a giant bean sprout – 20,000 times the size of the kind you fry with salted fish - springs up in their HDB estate! It reaches high up beyond the clouds, to where a man-eating Giant is rumoured to live! With nothing left to lose but everything to gain, Jack climbs up. But what awaits him up there? Treasure? True love? Or the inside of a microwave oven?
