The production will run at the theatre from the 21st November until the 31st December.
It has been announced that Clive Rowe will return to the Hackney Empire stage for Jack & the Beanstalk, starting performances in November.
Join happy-go-lucky Jack on an epic adventure after he sells his family’s beloved cow for a handful of magic beans, setting off a chain of events that leads high into the clouds. As Jack climbs up the beanstalk, he discovers an enchanted land, a powerful giant and a host of surprises, but can he outsmart the giant and save the day?
As well as starring in the production, Olivier Award winner Rowe will also be directing the production, with further casting and creative team yet to be announced.
Clive Rowe said, “Coooie, yes it’s official – I’m back. After taking this Christmas off to direct Cinderella, I decided that it’s bean too long, and my puls-es going through the roof and beyond the clouds with excitement, as we begin climbing steadily towards Jack and the Beanstalk here at the Hackney Empire 2026. See you all there!!!!”
The production will form part of the theatre’s 125th anniversary celebrations.
