AFTER directing an open-air production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and taking Shakespeare to the Punjab, Mike Kaiser of the Guild of Drama Adjudicators will be paying his first visit to the Hereford County Drama Festival of One Act Plays.

Groups from the Conquest Theatre, Bromyard, the Phoenix Theatre, Ross-on-Wye, and the Market Theatre, Ledbury, will join local teams from Hereford. Also performing will be groups from Eardisley, Bodenham WI and from the Bishop of Hereford's Bluecoat School.

There is still an opportunity to attend the Courtyard and listen to the adjudication - the festival runs from March 17 to March 20 and tickets, at £5 per evening, are available from the box office on 01432 359252.
