TAKE a girl, a dog, a scarecrow, a tin man and a cowardly lion and you have The Wizard of Oz.

The story has delighted people of all ages ever since Dorothy was immortalised by the late Judy Garland in the film version.

From August 29 to September 2, audiences can see the classic on stage when the Ulster Theatre Company presents the Royal Shakespeare Company's recent version of the MGM creation.

The show promises to be a treat for all the family at the Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham. To book tickets call 0870 607 7535.
