Fairytales for Families:
Jack & the 12 Dancing Princesses
Performed by Ben Haggarty
A widowed king with twelve daughters has an alarming mystery on his hands and there's only one person who can solve it.
Fairytale-teller extraordinaire, Ben Haggarty, tells a story brimful of adventure, broken shoes, jewelled forests, strange disappearances, enchanted mirrors, and magic that’s stronger, stranger and more startling than you've ever heard before.
Fun and fast-paced, this show is a sheer delight for everyone aged 5-105-and if you’re expecting a knight in shining armour to come riding to the rescue – think again!
“Everything a fairytale should be!”
“Haggarty tells his stories with enormous gusto and relish”
“I was spellbound - I don’t use the word lightly - as Ben transformed the room into a glittering cave of wonder”
