In this blistering solo show, join legendary hellraiser Oliver Reed as he knocks back a few drinks and shares his incredible life story. From the boyhood excitement of learning he was a descendant of Peter the Great, through the success of ‘Oliver’, boozy adventures with Keith Moon and disastrous chat show appearances – this was a life well lived.
Although Ollie has for years appeared an unstoppable force of nature, this show, set in a bar in Malta in 1999 during a break from filming The Gladiator with Russell Crowe, chronicles a time when life for the ‘Wild Thing’ is faltering. Rob Crouch brings Reed back to vivid life in this swaggering, brilliant evening of entertainment.
"Captures not just the history of the man but more importantly, his very
spirit. It's factual, fun and superbly entertaining - an insight into
Oliver Reed. - Mark Reed (Oliver Reed’s son).
“Everything a biopic should be...highly entertaining****” - Edinburgh Evening News
“One hell of a performance from Rob Crouch”- The Guardian
“Rob Crouch’s Reed is uncanny... great fun” - The Telegraph
