Design of artwork for the Belgrade Theatre’s exciting online production of Jack and the Beanstalk
BELGRADE FILM AND DIGITAL PRESENTS ITS FIRST EVER ONLINE PANTOMIME FOR CHRISTMAS 2020
Traditional panto performances have been postponed till 2021, but Christmas is far from cancelled in Coventry: this year, we’ll be hosting our first online pantomime.
Specially created in response to ongoing restrictions on indoor performances, Jack and the Beanstalk Online will be available to stream at home throughout December, or to watch via a series of socially distanced screenings at the Belgrade Theatre.
The show is written and directed by the Belgrade’s regular panto Dame Iain Lauchlan, who will also play a number of characters in the show, alongside his regular comedy co-star Craig Hollingsworth.
With a career spanning over 40 years in the children’s entertainment industry, Iain Lauchlan worked on BBC’s Playschool for eight years, as well as the very successful Fingermouse series, Playdays, Storytime and Fun Song Factory but is perhaps best known as the creator of the BAFTA-winning children’s television series, The Tweenies. Jack and the Beanstalk Online will be his 26th Belgrade Theatre pantomime.
Life has been turned upside-down in the bustling village of Prickly Bottom. As if the Covid 17 ½ lockdown wasn’t bad enough, the unhappy villagers are also being plagued by an outbreak of theft, thanks to an evil Giant and his horrible henchman Fleshcreep.
When they steal the enchanted harp that helps keep Prickly Bottom safe and prosperous, it’s up to lockdown layabout Jack Trott to save the day. But will he be able to turn over a new leaf in time to be the hero the village needs? Find out when this one-of-a-kind festive experience brings the magic of panto into the comfort of your home.
THE BRIEF
The Belgrade Theatre’s brief was to design show artwork for their online pantomime production of Jack and the Beanstalk. In the light of Coronavirus social distancing restrictions, the theatre decided to create an online performance for the very first time, bringing the show to your living room. The design is aimed to appeal to a wide audience from young children right up to grandparents, reflecting the fun and energy of pantomime.
The finished design was used across the theatres website and social media including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
