YANKL AND THE BEANSTALK
A saucy Queer Jewish panto that will leave you gagging... for pickles, of course!
Yankl is a hapless pickle worker on the Brick Lane, who's about to be bar mitsva. That is, if he can stop his fiery cousin Milly calling a strike at their workshop.
With the help of some magic beans - and Bohemian Rhapsody in Yiddish - they'll climb up a beanstalk to find their Giant and seize the means of production.
It's all bashert from above!
