KATY Manning, famous as one of Dr Who's early assistants, comes to Wells later this month to star in the hit off-Broadway comedy, Me and Jezebel.
The production by the recently formed Third Eye Theatre Company tells the hilarious story of how legendary Hollywood actress Bette Davis appeared at a fan's house one day - and stayed for a month - with Katy playing all the parts in a challenging performance.
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.
