For 5 year olds and upwards. In the attic of a Victorian house, a dull brown toy theatre is neglected by its owner. Every night the theatre hosts a performance of 'Jack and the Beanstalk' with actors made of paper and card. The penny plain actors are sad as no one comes to see the show. Jack, the paper actor, decides that something must be done to make the theatre popular again and sets out on an adventure in Victorian London, which takes him from penny plain to tuppenny coloured.
