Theatre Royal Windsor's panto season is set to delight audiences.
The venue will host a production of Jack and the Beanstalk from November 20, 2026, until January 10, 2027.
Joe Thompson-Oubari will join the cast as Fleshcreep, the Giant's servant.
He is familiar to Windsor audiences, having previously appeared in the theatre's pantomime as Aladdin in 2019 and Dandini in 2020.
Joe will join Steven Blakeley as Dame Dotty Trott and Kevin Cruise as Simon.
Hilary O'Neil will return to play Fairy Flutterby, and Brian Blessed will lend his voice to the role of the Giant.
Jeffrey Harmer will play the King, while Jay Worley takes on the titular role of Jack, alongside Abi Lily Clarke as Princess Jill.
The cast will bring the classic fairy tale to life in a pantomime adventure packed with mischief, magic, and festive fun.
Audiences can expect everything they love about Windsor pantomimes: dancing, songs, magical beans, larger-than-life characters, and Daisy the pantomime cow.
This year marks 88 years of pantomime for Theatre Royal Windsor.
Running for nearly eight weeks, the production is one of the country's longest-running pantomime seasons.
Theatre Royal Windsor has added an additional relaxed evening performance to this year's schedule.
Relaxed performances are adapted for families with children with an Autistic Spectrum Condition, individuals with sensory and communication disorders, those with learning disabilities, and anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment.
The performance will aim to reduce anxiety, encourage self-expression, and create an enjoyable experience for all.
A relaxed performance adapts the traditional theatre experience to be more inclusive and comfortable.
Lighting is adjusted to avoid bright flashes, with house lights kept low.
Sound levels are reduced, and any loud or potentially frightening elements are softened or removed.
Audiences are free to come and go as needed, and leaving your seat is okay.
There is no expectation to stay quiet: self-expression and noise are welcome.
Additional staff will be available to offer support.
This year there are two relaxed performances: Tuesday, November 24, at 1.30pm and Wednesday, January 6, at 6pm.
British Sign Language will also be included at this year's 6pm relaxed performance on Wednesday, January 6.
Audio described performances are designed for the visually impaired.
A narrator describes the on-stage action in real-time, which is transmitted through headsets available from the theatre shop for a refundable £5 deposit.
Tickets are priced between £19.50 and £50.50.
