Panto characters visit children's wards

Colourful characters from the 'Jack and the Beanstalk' pantomime running at the Cambridge Arts Theatre visited the children's wards recently to raise some smiles from the patients.

Mike Fenton-Stevens, who plays Dame Trott, said: "We've come so the children can see what the panto's like and to carry on with Christmas a little longer."

The cast were invited by the Fund for Addenbrooke's. Dave Murphy, the theatre's director, is a keen supporter of Children's Services at the hospital and raised funds for the department recently when he ran the New York Marathon.
