DESCRIPTION

“I WAS PUT ON THIS EARTH TO RAISE SHEER HELL

“A Masterful performance” British Theatre guide

BURTON vividly presents the life of the great Welsh actor in his own words from humble beginnings to Hollywood mega-stardom. Beautiful women (not least Liz Taylor), alcohol, wealth, stage and screen are the threads woven into this sad, happy, exuberant often hilarious one-man show. Drink was the only real anodyne to his deteriorating health and mental state, his doomed tempestuous relationship with Taylor and his constant guilt over the abandonment of his family.
RHODRI MILES,(Eastern Promises, Torchwood, Holby City) takes on the role of the younger BURTON fresh from a successful run to critical acclaim at this years Edinburgh Fringe Festival which received glorious 4/5 star reviews.

Written by: Gwynne Edwards
Directed by: Hugh Thomas

“Fantastic, the whole audience was in the palm of his hand from beginning to end” 5 stars-Edinburgh Guide
“Charming, Elegant one-man show which struggles to remove itself from the memory” 4 stars-The Scotsman
