King's Player

 

"Trefor Gare's consumate skills in clowning, miming, singing and acting reflect a training in four schools throughout the world which he's now distilled into one of the most technically brilliant shows I've ever seen. It's also extremely funny... engaging, entertaining and often very moving... with a tight and witty script. Sod Edinburgh and Covent Garden as well, this particular Juggler can do it without balls and you get a little bit of Medieval education on the way."

"A unique theatrical experience. Trefor Gare created - with little use of props - an evening of absolute enchantment. His performance combined illusion, humour and pathos, the magic of which lingers still. His energy was boundless as he juggled his characters as dexterously as he did his imaginary balls. Kings, witches, a blacksmith, barman and a ghost were only a few, all depicted convincingly and dramatically. His diversity of style and action was bewildering and combined with characters and storyline, made a remarkable experience."
- Times UK

"Gare walks tumbles falls and even sings along a fine line between stand-up comedy and theatre. Using mime, impersonations and some very low budget hand puppets, the King's Player recounts the humorous and woeful account of his royal appearance. The wit is fast and furious, a mixture of Shakespearian and contemporary humour."

"Innovative, exciting and new.."

"a riotously funny romp"
- Herald Sun, Melb.

"With only himself and a painted backdrop on stage, Trefor Gare manages to evoke the full sensory experience of medieval Europe. Combining high comedy with a sensitive pathos, Gare harnesses his many skills in mime, stand-up comedy and movement theatre to create a world that is rich, stimulating and highly compelling."
