Reviews
“Gary Farmer-Trickett was remarkable as the convoluted Ray Moon. Within the depths of his despair, longing, and skittish personality, he found moments of liveliness, disconnecting from his growing horror. Whilst still entrapped by the circus around him, I found within him a stillness, a grounding energy that put me at ease. Farmer-Trickett is to be praised for his performance. Alongside placating his wife, mis-managing his own anguish, and attempting to find meaning in this chaos, he delivered comedy in abudant shadow.”

“Farmer-Trickett delivered a layered performance of a father in a desperate dance of wanting his pain to end. Though there was much comedic genius in his performance, Farmer Trickett’s dark, serious moments kept the audience on edge.
The chemistry between the performers was electric. It felt as if a wall was taken away from the home of a couple struggling to survive in an awful layer of guilt, with the audience voyeuristically observing their uncontrollable situation.”

“Sandra Harman and Gary Farmer-Trickett both delivered dynamic, highly physical and nuanced performances in this two-hander, each bringing to life a wide range of characters, with distinct physical and vocal attributes. Farmer-Trickett’s physical comedy was especially notable, and the chemistry and trust between the two actors was evident..”

“This two- hander is confidently performed by experienced local actors Sandra Harman and Gary Farmer-Trickett, Sylvie and Ray Moon , who take on various quirky, yet challenging character roles, as they carry out interviews with “other residents” in their street, who they believe may have some knowledge of Ruby’s disappearance!”
