Tales of the Country told the story of Brian Viner and his family as they move from a terrace in north London to a rambling grange in rural Herefordshire.

Based on the book of the same name, inspired by his weekly dispatches from the country in The Independent, this was a chronicle of hilarious incidents and compelling characters.

Adapted for us by the brilliant Nick Warburton, Tales of the Country was a beguiling look at the pleasures and pitfalls that await a family from the city chasing a rural idyll.

Tales of the Country had two sell out national tours, playing in village halls, theatres and arts centres across the UK and Wales.

With such a stirling cast and so many comic vignettes there is plenty to enjoy in this smartly paced production. The Independent
