For Christmas 2003, London Bubble returned to Greenwich Theatre with a tale of romance, adventure and dairy products.

Deep in the Black Forest, Mother Goose struggles to make ends meet. With nothing but a goose whose eggs are no longer golden, and a cow whose milk supply is well past its sell by date, she just about gets by selling her meagre wares to the meagre villagers.

But things get out of hand when her legendary son, Jack, returns from the big city, the riches he found at the top of the beanstalk all frittered away. Faced with the prospect of becoming just another agricultural statistic, the terrified animals are forced to flee into the forest. There they meet a wolf, who seems friendly enough at first, but why does he have such violent mood swings…?
