The actress has a great fondness for East Anglia and had a cottage in Wells in the 1970s.
“I've travelled all over the world,” says Katy, “and East Anglia has got to be one of the most beautiful places. A beauty matched only by the kindness of its people, who have always had a great love of the theatre.”

The show comes to the Granary Theatre in Wells on Saturday, March 21.
