A Norfolk schoolboy plays a crucial role in a haunting drama opening tomorrow, October 12, at Sheringham Little Theatre.

Harry Wilson, 12, from Taverham, has been treading the boards since he was six and will take to the stage again in Bracken Moor, Cromer and Sheringham Operatic and Dramatic Society's latest production.

It will be Harry's second show with the society - he has previously played one of Fagin's gang in Oliver!

Bracken Moor director Kirk Wills is keeping mum about the details of Harry's performance for fear of ruining the surprise. He would only say it was a 'special part'.

Set against the economic crisis of the 1930s, Bracken Moor concerns two families who come together to rediscover their lost friendship and are plunged into a terrifying encounter with the past.

Writer Alexi Kaye Campbell has supplied a revised script for the company to work with and CSODS are the first amateur theatre company in the UK to use it.

The show runs nightly from tomorrow evening, October 12, to October 15 at 7.30pm, with a 2.30pm matinee on October 15.
