THE annual Herefordshire County Drama Festival is back.

Amateur groups from across the county will perform a series of one-act plays from Wednes-day to Saturday, March 22 at Hereford's Courtyard arts centre. Admission to all 7pm performances is £5.

An Edinburgh Festival smash hit that discusses the state of male genitalia in the 21st century is also coming to the Courtyard. Richard Herring's Talking Cock attempts to discover why the penis has become "an object of shame". The show begins at 7.30pm on Monday, March 17. Tickets cost £12.
