If you saw ?The Alzheimer?s Whodunnit? back in August, you?ll know what to expect from comic, poet and psych nurse Rob Gee?s next one-person theatre/ comedy/ spoken word show.
'Kevin, King of Egypt' is a comedy about an unlikely friendship between an escaped psychiatric patient and a lost six-year old girl. The narrative running through several interconnected stories is that the state of our mental health doesn't have to define how decent we are. The show offers a unique view of life inside a psychiatric institution, and Kevin's story is immensely funny but also, at points, desperately sad.
"Delightful... Gee finds humour and heart among the humanity.? Orlando Sentinel
"This marvellous show isn't at all what it initially seems to be, much like the characters themselves... we are led into a world inhabited by several characters, all delivered in beautifully measured tones... beautifully realised, this show is a treat." Fringe Review, UK
"Hilarious? a captivating show, bound to simultaneously break hearts and lift spirits.? Vue Weekly, Alberta
