Five members of the same family are starring in the world’s first all-Muslim panto, which will tour from the end of November.

As well as starring, family theatre company Once Upon a Family write and direct the production. Joining them are the cast of YouTube comedy series The Corner Shop, Michael Truong, Mistah Islah and Inayat, and Citizen Khan star Abdullah Afzal.

The show will be raising money for Muslim humanitarian charity Penny Appeal’s Winter Emergency, which provides assistance to vulnerable people over the colder months.
