The UK's only Muslim Pantomime is touring the UK. 'Cinder Aliyah' is a reworking of the classic fairy-tale Cinderella. Now it is also being added to the country's largest pantomime archive, which spans four centuries of British pantomime history. The inclusion of Cinder’Aliyah into the David Drummond Pantomime Collection is a historic moment, as it is the first Muslim-themed pantomime to be included in the archive. It is hoped that it will inspire future generations of performers, writers, and audiences alike. Writer and director Abdullah Afzal explains that the show’s proceeds will be raising funds for survivors of the devastating floods that recently hit Pakistan.
