LOCAL audiences should prepare themselves to jump down a rabbit hole in less than one's month's time.

Preparations are well underway at The Courtyard in Hereford for its Youth Theatre performance of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

A spokesman said: "Lewis Carroll’s timeless children’s stories will be magically brought to life this Easter holiday as Alice falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.

"The amazing Lobster Quadrille, the Queen of Hearts’ infamous croquet match and the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party are just a few of the remarkable events and characters that will take to The Courtyard stage."

Ellen Dorsett, Youth and Communities Participation Manager, added: “Everyone involved with this production is working incredibly hard, especially the Youth Theatre and we would love for everyone to come and see our version of this treasured classic.

"It is a show for families to enjoy together with moments of laughter, madness, joy and so much more.”

Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass will be in The Courtyard’s Main House from Wednesday April 19 to Saturday April 22, at 2pm and 7pm.
