The Croydon Guardian has teamed up with Wimbledon Theatre to give readers the chance to win tickets to the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk, starring Shane Ritchie as Jack.

Jack tackles the Giant after climbing the beanstalk to win the hand of the Princess, played by Casey Lee Jolleys from television's Beachcomber Bay.

This sparkling panto also stars Allan Stewart as Dame Trot and Rainbow's Geoffrey Hayes as The King.

The outrageous Sadie Nine brings her own touch of comedy to the role of the Fairy.

We have one family ticket as first prize, and three pairs of tickets for three runners up.

All you have to do is answer the simple question below and send your entry on a postcard or sealed envelope to Wimbledon Theatre Panto Competition, Croydon Guardian, Ekman Cleave House, 854 Brighton Road, Purley, CR8 2UX.

Closing date is Thursday, December 20, 2001.

Be sure to include your name, address and daytime telephone contact number.

The winners will be drawn from the correct entries after the closing date.

Usual Guardian competition rules apply and the editor's decision is final.

The choice of performances dates as prizes is subject to availability at the venue.

If you are not a winner then the panto runs until January 20, 2002, and you can book tickets on 020 8540 0362.

Question: Who lives at the top of the beanstalk?
