Countess Otho

by Reggie Oliver

Reggie Oliver is a stage actor and playwright. His biography of Stella Gibbons was praised as "a triumph" by Hilary Spurling in the Daily Telegraph, his play Winner Takes All, was described as "the funniest evening in London", by Michael Billington in The Guardian, and his adaptation of Hennequin and Delacour's Once Bitten opened at the Orange Tree Theatre in London in December 2010. COUNTESS I loathe fans. I realise I shouldn't be saying this. The correct thing for actors to say is that fans are the lifeblood of the we love and respect them. No, we don't.
