Resting between engagements? The Oxford Stage Company is looking for four local actors to play walk-on parts in its next production of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, directed by Dominic Dromgoole, at The Oxford Playhouse from July 1-5.

The successful actors will take part in a picnic and share the limelight with the likes of Geraldine James (Madame Ranyevskya).
