Written and performed by Eclectic Pelican’s Tref Gare, King's Player was first performed in London and has toured widely across the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

TREF GARE - Tref Gare began his theatre career in 1983 and has worked across a wide array of forms and styles including theatre, musical theatre, puppetry, mime, film and television.
