Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds' pantomime dame Chris Clarkson shows SuffolkNews behind the scenes of the Legend of Robin Hood
With panto season in full swing, we went behind the scenes at a town theatre to find out all about the wonderful world of dame make-up.
This year's panto production at the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds is the Legend of Robin Hood.
Audience favourite Chris Clarkson is back for his sixth year and this time he's playing Little Joan, local baker and proprietor of Little Joan’s Big Baps.
SuffolkNews popped down to visit Chris one morning to see how he prepares for a show.
