Made by Exeter Northcott. Exeter Northcott Theatre and Le Navet Bete present: Jack and the Beanstalk. The title is green and has beanstalk vines wrapped around it. A giant's feet in red boots with shiny buckles can be seen on the left. The small figure of Jack stands in the middle, staring up at the giant we can't see more of. Next to him is a piglet, also staring up with a rather comical expression. They're surrounded by clouds in orange and pink hues.
