The C Word: Musical Showcase at Yorkshire Fringe

Yorkshire Fringe Performance Evening: The C Word Musical Showcase


Join us at Slung Low for a 30-minute showcase presentation of The C Word, an original Christmas musical written and composed by Joseph Arieh, presented as part of Yorkshire Fringe.

Blending dark fantasy, humour, and heart with a festive twist, The C Word follows sisters Yareakh and Sekhmet as they are pulled into a perilous fairy-tale realm where being “naughty” or “nice” decides your fate. Separated, they must endure temptation, betrayal, and sacrifice to reunite and take down Bomblegeiss, the ancient demon pulling the strings from the shadows.


Please note: this is a short showcase of selected material from the full musical, rather than a complete production.

Following the showcase, Joseph Arieh will be joined by Jonathan Hall of Yorkshire Fringe for a short post-show conversation about the creation of the musical, its development so far, and what comes next for the project, followed by audience questions.
