TWO BROTHERS. ONE DESTINY.
When self-centered salesman Charlie Babbitt discovers that his long-lost brother
Raymond, an autistic savant with a genius for numbers, has inherited the family fortune; he sets out to get ‘his half’.
Charlie ‘borrows’ Raymond from the institution where he has spent most of his life and the two brothers embark on a trip across America where Charlie soon discovers that Raymond is worth more than he could have ever imagined…
Inspired by the heart-warming Oscar-winning film, which famously starred Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman and won Oscar’s for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Actor, Rain Man comes to Milton Keynes Theatre from Monday (September 3).
It follows previous acclaimed Bill Kenwright productions of films to the stage including A Few Good Men, The Shawshank Redemption and Twelve Angry Men.
And this taut new proposition stars a couple of faces very familiar to small screen viewers; both have starred in two of the biggest TV hits in recent years: Mathew Horne and Ed Speelers.
Mathew is best known for playing Gavin in the much-loved, double BAFTA winning comedy series Gavin and Stacey, as well as the BBC series The Catherine Tate Show, and Jack Whitehall’s Bad Education.
His most recent West End stage credit was The Miser opposite Griff Rhys Jones and Lee Mack.
Ed Speleers starred as Jimmy Kent in the Golden Globe award winning series Downton Abbey. His breakthrough came after landing the lead role in the fantasy blockbuster Eragon, since then he has starred in many films and TV series and has just been announced as joining the cast of Outlander.
It's a cracking story, matched perfectly by its cast. A must-see, we think.
