4 Jan

Islington's ★★★★★ family "panto to see this season" (Curtain Call Reviews) is back for its second year!

Heroes don't always wear capes... but ours occasionally wears a cowpat! Young milkman Jack finds himself thrust into the limelight when his mum's dairy farm, Angel Delight on Udder Street - and Islington itself - is threatened by a greedy old giant! Armed with only a can of squirty cream and a talent for puns, Jack is determined to do battle with the giant... But can he persuade the townsfolk of Islington - and his mum - that he's up to the job? 

Join Jack on his moo-vellous journey up the beanstalk, as he battles to save the town and rescue his legendairy bovine bestie Pat from the clutches of the fearsome giant!  

This show ain't semi-skimmed: it's a full-fat riot of slapstick, show tunes, and spectacle!

King’s Head Theatre returns for their second annual panto after 2024’s five-star hit Cinderella. There’s sure to be fun for all the family in this thrilling musical adventure in the clouds - celebrate the holidays by making North London’s fabulous family panto part of your yearly tradition!

CAPTIONED PERFORMANCE

Why captioning?
We know that for many neurodivergent individuals, captioned performances can provide an added layer of clarity and comfort, whether by supporting auditory processing, reducing anxiety, or simply making it easier to follow the story at one’s own pace. We're committed to creating a theatre experience that’s as inclusive and welcoming as possible.

How will this performance be adapted?
This performance will feature two screens positioned on either side of the stage, displaying the spoken dialogue in real time. To ensure clear visibility of the captions, we’ve reserved seating in the central section of the auditorium. If you would like to book one of these seats and are not currently a member of our Access Scheme, please get in touch with the Box Office. Please note, there will be no changes to the cast, script, or overall quality of the performance.
