RAPTUROUS RECEPTION FOR JACK AND THE BEANSTALK

The lounge at Avalon Nursing Home resounded with laughter and applause on Saturday when Daisy-Chain Productions performed their touring performance of the ever-popular panto ‘Jack And The Beanstalk’ to our delighted residents.

There was lots of crowd participation and the audience sang along enthusiastically with old favourites such as ‘Hit The Road Jack’ and ‘Que Sera Sera.’

Lisa Priddice, activities co-ordinator at Avalon, said: “The panto was just fantastic, and created a wonderful atmosphere, with lots of booing and hissing for the giant, and cheers for the hero, Jack.

“The actors in the troupe brought the story to life so well – their professional training really shines through.

“The residents said it was a lovely a show, and enjoyed waving their flags and singing along with the songs.

“It was also a great opportunity to welcome family and friends, including some children, to Avalon to share the experience, and to participate in the fab buffet and drinks that were laid on for after the show.”
