TREVOR
“Third time’s the charm!”
For the third time, Knock And Run is proud to announce their production of Trevor by Nick Jones. One of the most awaited plays will hit Newcastle stages on Jan 8-15 2022. Inspired by true events, Trevor is a subversive comedy about fame, success, and the lies we tell ourselves in order to keep people from taking away an erratic, 200-pound chimpanzee. At the centre of this hilarious and heart-wrenching play are two individuals fighting against a world unable to understand their love: Trevor, a chimpanzee who once performed in commercials with the likes of Morgan Fairchild, and his owner Sandra, who swears he would never hurt a fly...at least not on purpose. A moving exploration of family, flawed communication, and humanity.
The third and final instalment of Knock And Run’s Animal Cracker Trilogy (Year Of The Rooster, Circumference Of A Squirrel, Trevor), Trevor is directed by Allison Van Gaal and assisted by Bailey Ackling Beecham.
The stellar cast consists of James Chapman (Things I Know To Be True), Karen Lantry ( Much Ado About Nothing), Maddie Baillie (Mamma Mia), Zac Smith (Mamma Mia), Patrick Campbell (The Shawshank Redemption), Ben Louttit (Two Point Oh) and Nerida Walker (Chess).
