ST Aelred's Players present "the last panto in the season" in York on January 29 to 31 at St Aelred's Hall, Fifth Avenue.

"We perform in a school hall but we're not a school group," says Cinderella cast member Sue Lightfoot.

"We have members from a wide age range; the youngest is eight-year-old Chloe Lightfoot-Loftus and I'm the oldest, being her grandma, aged 71.

"We work hard, we're all voluntary, rehearsing every week from September until the end of January with our producer Dave Williams and director Glenn Booth."

Next Thursday and Friday's performances of Cinderella start at 7.30pm; next Saturday's shows at 2.30pm and 7pm. Tickets cost £6, concessions £4, on the door.
