Norwich newspaper rescues Christmas panto
The Evening News has come to the rescue of this year's Christmas pantomime.
Norwich Theatre Royal's panto props team were in desperate need of a fluorescent newspaper delivery bag for the production of the Jack of the Beanstalk which opens tomorrow.
The paperboy bag was needed for a crucial scene featuring comic Andre Vincent, who plays Billy Trott.
John Bultitude, of Norwich Theatre Royal, said: 'After the panto team approached countless people without success, we thought we would go straight to the newspaper itself and they obliged with some brand-new bags to be featured in the show, so we would like to say a big thank you to them.
'It is good to know the good people of the panto town of Norwichvale are just as keen to get their Evening News as the rest of the region.'

Also returning to the panto for the tenth year is writer, director and popular Dame Richard Gauntlett.
