Say Owt, a group known for spoken word and performance poetry, is staging York's first alternative pantomime of Cinderella at The Crescent on 15 and 16 December. The production will feature York performers in a mix of music, theatre and poetry, offering a modern twist on the classic tale.

The retelling includes a ball at Knavesmire and a prince advertising the event via social media. Music will be provided by Jarmouse, an artist from Young Thugs Records. The Say Owt team, consisting of Henry Raby, Jarmouse, Hannah Davies and Stu Freestone, have spearheaded the production.

Henry Raby, one of the show's writers, explained the creative vision: 'We wanted to take all the joyous, classic elements of a Panto… but make it punk.' Say Owt promises a festive celebration of York and its people, featuring chaos, jokes and surprises. The show is recommended for ages 14 and up.
