There was no shortage of laughs at Mountmellick Macra's Pantomime when the much-loved show 'Jack & the Beanstalk' was brought to life.  Over four nights from Thursday to Sunday, February 12 to 16 the talented cast entertained audiences in Mountmellick Macra Hall.  This year's show was produced and directed by Brian Brady and choreographed by Louise Ahern. The story was set in a local village with Jack played by Fionn Kelly, the son of Dame Trottie played by Michéal Kilheeney along with their beloved cow Daisy played by Amy Strong/Alanah Conroy struggling to pay the Giant taxes to local Mayor (Aoife Oxley) and the Hark (Ellie Fitzpatrick). Photographer Denis Byrne was there to capture all the fun. Click next or use the arrows to see the full gallery.
