Stuff and Nonsense's energetic take on the old tale, with puppetry and a clever set: two keen gardeners grow one last giant vegetable that gets out of hand, and the audience helps pull it up. The show lasts an hour and suits ages 3 to 10, though the whole family is welcome. Presented with Manchester Literature Festival.
