Jack Rover is an actor.

Committed, quick-witted and capable of slipping into a new identity with the merest arc of an eyebrow. The trouble is, there's one character he hasn't quite mastered. His own.

John O'Keeffe's careering caper of cross purposes, mistaken identity and confusion is a classic romp of a comedy, directed by the hugely exciting young director, Mark Rosenblatt (National Theatre), making his Bristol Old Vic debut.

The charismatic, Shakespeare-spouting Rover lurches between places and people, falling in love, pulling pranks and tumbling over relations he never knew he had.

Wild Oats is a riotously comic affair, a high-speed barrel through the lives of a dysfunctional band of friends, foes and family which serves, most triumphantly, as a heartfelt love letter to theatre itself.

Wild Oats runs in rep with Does My Society Look Big In This?

Gold and oil at once, and rubies and diamonds to the utmost profusion!"

Bernard Levin, journalist, on the latter day rediscovery of Wild Oats
