“Baby Reindeer” Meets “Saltburn” in Queer Premiere of NYC’s Only British-style Panto,
“Jack’s Bean Stalked” from November 23-December 14 at Parkside Lounge on NYC’s
Lower East Side

NEW YORK CITY – The classic tale of Jack and his magical beanstalk gets an
unapologetically filthy and outrageously queer twist in “Jack’s Bean Stalked” – an adult,
British-style Panto presented by R & R Productions. With echoes of the unsettling
obsession in “Baby Reindeer” and the seductive edge of “Saltburn,” this outrageous re-
imagining follows Jack and a razor-sharp drag queen as they face off against a giant
(and a very hands-on) beanstalk that’s more stalker than stalk. This adults-only show
plays five performances from November 23 – December 14 at the Lower East Side’s
Parkside Lounge, 317 E. Houston, NYC 10002.

With biting political satire, raunchy humor, and pop culture parodies aplenty, this original
Panto pushes boundaries and buttons in equal measure. Bold and bawdy, the
pantomime, or Panto, has been a holiday tradition in Great Britain since 1717. With
roots in Commedia dell’arte, the genre takes classic fairy tales and imbues them with a
broad and comedic twist. While Pantos are traditionally considered family-friendly
entertainment, “Jack’s Bean Stalked” is strictly for grown-ups.
