A THEATRE company based in a small Herefordshire village is making a big impression on the UK's drama scene.

Eardisley Little Theatre's production of Dennis Potter's 'Blue Remembered Hills' has made it to the English Final of the All England Drama Festival, in York on June 3, after winning the Herefordshire, Midlands and Western area stages.

The play, originally written for television, has been adapted for the stage in this production. The cast, whose only rehearsal facilities have been the village hall or people's homes, is made up of community members, some of whom have never acted before.
