Regular performers will return this autumn for Berwick Kaler’s famous York Theatre Royal pantomime.

The cast of Aladdin And The Twankeys will include Martin Barrass, Suzy Cooper, Sian Howard and AJ Powell, along with last year's villain Jonathan Race.

The cast is headed by the UK's longest-reigning panto dame, Berwick Kaler, in his 35th York Theatre Royal pantomime and playing one of his favourite characters, Widow Twankey.

Martin Barrass travels north after a second year in the West End in hit farce One Man, Two Guvnors.

Aladdin And The Twankeys runs from December 12 to February 1. Visit yorktheatreroyal.co.uk for details.
