OLIVER REED: WILD THING Comes to The Ambassadors Theatre, April 1 & 8

Arrow Media and Seabright Productions present OLIVER REED: WILD THING, a new play by Mike Davis and Rob Crouch, directed by Kate Bannister and performed by Rob Crouch, at The Ambassadors Theatre. The show will run Tuesdays 1 & 8 April 2014 at 8pm.

Following a critically acclaimed three-week season at St. James Studio last August, Oliver Reed: Wild Thing plays The Ambassadors Theatre in London's West End for two nights only.

Mike Davis and Rob Crouch's homage to renowned actor Oliver Reed, makes for a blistering solo show. Join the legendary hell-raiser 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. But though Ollie may appear an unstoppable force of nature, this is Malta in 1999, and time is fast running out for the 'Wild Thing'. Rob Crouch brings Reed back to vivid life in a swaggering performance.
