It wouldn't be a York pantomime without the legendary Berwick Kaler, Britain's longest-serving panto dame and a staple of the York Christmas season for four decades. Kaler plays the dame in every production and is joined by his long-time sidekick Martin Barrass (Emmerdale), who has appeared in every York panto since 1984. The cast also features Suzy Cooper, AJ Powell and David Leonard.
