Hall for Cornwall has announced the cast for this year's production of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Edward Rowe will return to lead the cast as Dame Trott in the festive fairytale pantomime.
The Cornwall Playhouse production, in association with Falmouth University, will feature familiar Cornish faces, new graduates, and acting talent from across the UK.
It will be directed by Joyce Branagh and promises to be full of heritage, bean gags, and song-and-dance fun for all the family.
Ms Branagh said: "I can’t wait to get stuck in - it really will be a giant adventure, for everyone in Cornwall.
"In our story, hero Jack and his fabulous mum set about saving their village.
"It’s a classic tale of good versus evil in which the role of family and friends has never been more important – so grab yours, book those tickets and we’ll see you in December."
Julien Boast, Hall for Cornwall CEO and Jack and the Beanstalk executive producer, said: "This is such a talented and vibrant cast, bursting with talent.
"More than that, our pantomime this year is a great showcase of our commitment to nurturing new talent, supporting Cornish artists both on and offstage and delivering heartwarming entertainment to complete the Cornish Christmas."
He said: "I’m delighted to be playing the dame this Christmas.
"I loved playing Kenwyn a few years ago and of course being Long John Silver a couple of years back.
"Captain Hook last year was an enormous honour, and one of my favourite roles, so taking on the dame this year feels like a great step.
"There’s so much tradition with dames and some of my favourite actors have been dames, Ian McKellen, Les Dawson, Paul O’Grady.
"To be Dame Trott at Hall for Cornwall is a dream come true."
Other Cornish cast members include Gareth Cooper, Charlotte Rutherfoord, Aidan Nightingale, and Colin Leggo.
The pantomime will also feature new talent Shen Leng Chow and Patrick Dineen, alongside West End talent Freya Karlettis and Jessica Manu.
No pantomime is complete without a wicked baddie, and Susannah Van Den Berg will take on the role of Judi Henchman.
The pantomime is set to run from December 6 to December 31 at the Cornwall Playhouse.
Tickets are available to book now.
