Robson Greeen to star in 'Little Devil'
New comedy-drama, Little Devil, takes a dry look at life through the eyes of ten year-old Oliver Crowe (Joseph Friend) who is forced to take desperate measures to try to save his parents’ crumbling marriage.
Robson Green plays Will Crowe; a traumatised father and headmaster who is reeling from the shock discovery of his wife, Laura’s (Maggie O’Neill) affair with his best friend, Adrian (James Wilby). Also starring are Emily Joyce as Adrian’s long-suffering wife, and Katie and Phoebe Thomas as Will and Laura’s daughter, Jackie Crowe.
The highly charged drama follows the comedic highs and heartbreaking lows of Oliver’s well meaning but ultimately disastrous exploits with his best friend and partner-in-crime, Zoe (Chloe O’Sullivan).
"I always enjoy being part of a story that deals with relationships and the effect they can have on children," commented Robson. "How can ten-year-old Oliver keep his parents together after he discovers his dad’s best friend has slept with his mum? The consequences to this scenario are painful, sometimes ludicrously absurd, funny but most importantly life affirming. It was a joy working with James Wilby, Emily Joyce and of course, Maggie O’Neill who’s character in ‘Shameless’ was brilliant".
"Little Devil" (3 x 60 minutes) transmits in early August 2007 on ITV1
