An evening with cricket legend Lord Ian Botham, hosted by Geoff Miller OBE, at The Albany Theatre.
Lord Ian Botham is coming to The Albany Theatre on Tuesday 3 November, with Geoff Miller OBE hosting the evening. It's a conversation rather than a performance, and if you've spent any time following cricket over the last few decades, you know exactly who Botham is.
He was England's captain and one of the most impactful all-rounders of his generation, scoring 14 centuries and taking 383 wickets across more than 15 years. He belonged to a golden generation of all-rounders that dominated the 1980s, and the 1981 Ashes, which England won 3-1, came to be known as 'Botham's Ashes' because of his starring performances with bat and ball. He was the fastest player to reach the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets, broke the world record for most Test wickets, and finished his career with 5,200 runs and 383 wickets. He was knighted in 2007 for his services to cricket and to charity.
The night is an audience with him, hosted by Geoff Miller, so it's a chance to hear him talk through those years. It's for ages 16 and over, and it runs for an hour and 40 minutes including an interval.
