THE world premiere of a new romantic comedy will be held at a South Woodford theatre soon.

The play Love on the Tracks, which is inspired by the short stories of Russian writer Anton Chekov, will be performed at the Redbridge Drama Centre in Churchfields on October 5 and 6.

It is made up of a series of sketches based on the stories of three passengers who board a train at Moscow railway station and the cast will include the author Richard Attlee, who stars in Radio 4's The Archers and Paul Bigley, who has appeared in Grange Hill and Shakespeare in Love.

Tickets, costing £8.50, are available by calling 0205 045451 or visiting the website www.redbridgedramacentre.co.uk
