Actor and Russian expert Richard Attlee, who plays Kenton Archer in the long-running radio soap The Archers, is the writer and star of Love on the Tracks.
Inspired by the short stories of Anton Chekov, the play focues on three passengers thrown together on a train journey to Yalta.
In the best Russian manner, their tales of infidelity and happenstance unfold in a series of comic vignettes, creating a series of tales full of unrequited love, marital infidelity, murder, suicide and debt.
Attlee, the grandson of the Prime Minister Clement Attlee, is joined in the play by Paul Bigley, who has appeared in several television comedies including Men Behaving Badly, and Sioned Jones, who featured in the West End production of Shadowlands.

Its later venues include Uffington Memorial Hall on May 18 (01367 820385), Bampton Village Hall on May 23 (01993 851963), Chipping Norton Theatre on May 31 (01608 642350) and The Players’ Theatre, Thame, on June 1 (01844 217228).
