Pantomime season is only days away in Lincoln and one production company had unveiled an extra special effect which they believe is the biggest ever seen in the county.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Drill Hall panto’s production, this year’s Jack and the Beanstalk will include an alternative ‘Golden Goose’ – a Red Arrow simulator.
Dame James Campbell will be in charge of flying the Lincoln-based aircraft.
Speaking to The Lincolnite, ahead of the launch, director of Jamie Marcus Productions, Jamie Marcus, said: : “When we started putting Jack and the Beanstalk together, I just wanted it to be really Lincoln and celebrate everything that aviation brings to Lincolnshire.
“It’s taken 11 months to design, build, paint, finish and light. It’s had to be top secret and we couldn’t let it out until now.
The ‘Golden Goose’ is the company’s biggest ever special effect.
“Of course with Jack and the Beanstalk you have all these other exciting parts such as an animatronic giant, the beanstalk and the cow, but I just wanted that one fantastic special effect, and it’s the biggest one that Lincolnshire has ever seen.”
Asked whether this equipment was expensive, Jamie laughed and added: “Lincoln audiences are worth it, is all I’m going to say!
“It’s our ten-year anniversary and we just wanted it to be fantastic.”

News that a £165,000 improvement project on the Handley Monument in Sleaford will commence early next year has been supported by local residents, who feel it is a much needed addition to the town centre, but it hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism.
North Kesteven District Council unveiled its plans for the historic Handley Monument in Sleaford, with a view to improving the surrounding area and also lighting up the monument to attract more attention to its role in the town’s history.
