Reviews
Felix Jarvis similarly shows amazing range in his ability to play at one moment a sleazy lawyer, meant purely for laughs, and in the next a character essential to Hemming’s emotional and personal arc.

The most dramatic tension in the play was where Roland, as an adult star academic, attempts to entice a reluctant student Daniel (Felix Jarvis) on an outing where it was implied that sex was on the agenda.
David Spicer - Stage Whispers | Read Review Here
“The supporting cast matches his energy, bouncing between realistic portrayals of adult professionals to theatrically enthusiastic children. Let me cherry pick some favourites. Felix Jarvis as Daniel, an actor in training, gives a wonderful portrait of that youthful mix of confidence and insecurity.”

“Michelle Carey’s production is first class and engages the audience from the get go.”
David Kary | Sydney Arts Guide | Read Review Here
“Led by Director Michelle Carey there’s a lot going on in this intense production. Toy Symphony explores bullying, substance abuse, death and grief. At times this play is uncomfortable to watch but it’s also a compelling look at creativity and human response.”

“Lively direction by Michelle Carey keeps us invested in the storytelling”
Suzy Wrong - Suzy Go See | Read Review Here
“It is fitting that the first production in the space is from one of the giants of Australian playwriting. Michael Gow’s “Toy Symphony” reminds us that we should embrace creativity and difference with compassion and patience. And that there can be a little bit of magic in everyone!”

As things continue, we also bear witness to each stage of the relationship between Ned and his partner, New York Times journalist Felix Turner (Felix Jarvis). Their centrepiece romance plays out in all of its unfiltered vulnerability, raw anger, complex beauty and undeniable love (as much due to intimacy coach Michelle Miall, as it is Gregory J Wilken and Jarvis’ performances).
And Jarvis’s portrayal of Ned’s great love Felix is particularly poignant without wallow.

Gregory J Wilken’s passionate, furious energy as Ned was balanced by the restraint and level-headedness of Sam Hocking’s Bruce, and the relaxed charisma of Felix Jarvis’ Felix. The chemistry and comfortable physicality between Wilken and Jarvis held this secondary storyline together through a wide range of emotions and events, with intimacy coaching by Michelle Miall, and in portraying the joys of their evolving relationship.

Felix Jarvis plays Ned's lover, Felix (played by Gregory J Wilken), delivering a chemistry with his co-star that is utterly authentic, convincing, and powerful. Together they tell a love story that resonates with a generation.

As Ned’s love interest and New York Times lifestyle reporter, Felix Jarvis wins hearts from word one. It’s hard to believe that Felix (Gregory J Wilken) is still studying his craft, as his confidence on stage and ability to move from romantic comedy to high drama are already finely honed judging from this performance.

The Ad Astra production shows great team work and sensitivity, the cast show moments of brilliance as they spell out the challenges and journey that were faced with as a community.

The strongest component of the show was the stellar cast. Taking on the role of leading man, Ned Weeks, was Gregory J Wilken. Wilken’s performance brought a fast paced, stubborn but energetic passion to his character that emphasised his high sense of morality. Playing opposite him as Ned’s love interest, Felix Turner, was Felix Jarvis. Jarvis conveyed such true emotions for Wilken’s character whilst maintaining a grounded but playful, layered performance. His descent into illness was covered with grace and strong physicality. Additionally, Michelle Miall must be applauded for her intimacy coaching as Jarvis and Wilken’s characters truly felt comfortable in each other’s embrace. A memorable moment involves Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ underscoring Wilken and Jarvis whilst moves are made at a first date.
