Gareth in the Edinburgh Fastival -
Gareth appeared in 'Moving Objects', a play written for him by Mark D.
Thomson (who directed him in 'Hamlet' and 'Twelfth Night' at the Brunton
theatre). Gareth plays Joseph Leibovitch, an East European refugee from the
Holocaust, now working as a pawnbroker. The play ran from 10 - 24 August 2001 at
the Brunton Theatre, Musselborough, near Edinburgh.The play won a "Fringe First" award on 24th August.
Breathtaking performances in a modest three-hander which offers "a complete picture of the impulse to violence in our society" and, most startlingly, Thomson even has the nerve to offer the glimmer of a happy ending.
