Yankl and the Beanstalk
This ‘saucy queer Jewish panto’ follows the eponymous Yankl, a ‘pickle worker’ on Brick Lane about to have their belated Bar Mitzvah. Inevitably, disaster strikes and magic beans are posited as a solution in a naughty 75-minute romp by Tamara Micner, directed by Laura Wohlwend, with songs by Emily Rose Simons. ‘Tiktok sensation’ and comic Candy Gigi takes on daming duties as Reyzl, with the great Michael Rosen lending his pre-recorded voice to the role of the Giant. The age advice is 16-plus but there is a single family-friendly matinee perfomance for ages five-plus on December 5.
