Forget watching EastEnders or Coronation Street in your lounge after dinner, the seaside prom is soon to become the place to see gritty soap opera action.
Playwright James McDermott, 27, has come up with Ghosted, a 'Covid-busting production' that will play out the promenades at Great Yarmouth and Sheringham - while the audience wears headsets to get audio snippets that add to the twists and turns of the plot.
Mr McDermott, who lives near Holt, said: “I love soap opera and Netflix box sets, which everyone has been binge watching in lockdown, and so wanted to write a play with all plot twists, grittiness and fast paced action of a binge-worthy TV drama.
