THE THIRD EYE THEATRE COMPANYTV Star brings Broadway Hit to East Anglia
Television Star KATY MANNING, famous for her role as assistant JO GRANT to Jon Pertwee’s DR WHO, has returned to the UK from Australia this week to star as BETTE DAVIS in her hilarious one-women show, the hit Off-Broadway comedy ME & JEZEBEL. The true story of how Bette Davis appeared at a fan’s house one day – and stayed for a month, turning the poor woman’s family life upside-down. In a tour de voice performance Katy plays all the parts – including the dog!
Katy has a great fondness for East Anglia, having lived in Wells-Next-The-Sea, Norfolk in the 1970s with her partner at the time, STEWART BEVAN, the actor who played Professor CLIFF JONES, her husband in the Dr Who story THE GREEN DEATH. Stewart, who now lives in Suffolk, is producing the show with his theatre company THIRD EYE THEATRE whose Patron is actor and musician DAVID SOUL of STARSKY & HUTCH fame.

SPECIAL INVITATION – After the show, Katy will mingle with the audience for a chat and a laugh or two – or ten!
Katy’s well-known love of animals is reflected in a donation from this production going to the RSPCA.

Katy will be touring her beloved Norfolk and Suffolk throughout March, including the Granary Theatre in Wells, before the London run of her play in April. The show opens with a Hollywood-style party at the FISHER THEATRE BUNGAY on the 11th MARCH.
