Reggie Oliver (born 1952 in London) is an English playwright, biographer and writer of ghost stories. He has cited his primary influences as M.R. James, Walter de la Mare and Robert Aickman. ==Life and career== Reggie Oliver was educated at Eton (Newcastle Scholar, 1970, Oppidan Scholar) and University College, Oxford (BA Hons 1975), and has been a professional playwright, actor, and theatre director since 1975. He has worked in radio, television, films, and theatre, both in the West End and outside London. He was a founding member of the late Sir Anthony Quayle's Compass Theatre, and both played the part of Traverse and understudied Sir Anthony in the tour and West End run of ''The Clandestine Marriage'' in 1984. His plays include ''Imaginary Lines'' (which was first produced and directed by Alan Ayckbourn at Scarborough in 1985 and has since been translated into several languages), ''Absolution'' (King's Head, 1983), ''Back Payments'' (King's Head, 1985), ''Taking Liberties'' (Wolsey, Ipswich, 1996), ''Put Some Clothes On, Clarisse!'' (Duchess Theatre, London, 1989), and ''Winner Takes All''—the last described by Michael Billington as "the funniest evening in London" when it was revived at the Orange Tree Theatre in 2000. His play ''A Portrait of Two Artists'' was performed on Radio 3 in 1989. Oliver's biography of his aunt Stella Gibbons, ''Out of the Woodshed'', was published by Bloomsbury in 1998; and he is a contributor to the historical magazine ''History Today''. He has written about ghost stories for such journals as ''Supernatural Tales'', ''All Hallows'', ''Wormwood'' for which he writes the regular ''Under Review'' column, and ''Weirdly Supernatural''. He lives in Suffolk and was married to the artist and actress, the late Joanna Dunham (1936-2014). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reggie Oliver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
