Oliver Reed - Wild Thing

Join legendary hellraiser Oliver Reed as he knocks back a few drinks and shares his incredible life story.

In a bar in Malta in 1999, Oliver Reed takes a break from filming ‘Gladiator’ with Russell Crowe to reminisce on a life of excess. 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 time is fast running out for the ‘Wild Thing’.

Actor Rob Crouch’s amazing performance 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
