Gerard played the role of George, Duke of Clarence in Theatre Raconteurs production of Richard III at the Alma Tavern, which enjoyed a 2 week sold-out run in November-December 2009. "Pacy, effervesecent, populous, and nicely irreverent... Rich, inventive, atmospheric stuff." **** Steve Wright, VENUE

- Eddie King's Non Refundable Tour of the Lost Souls
-
A closed theatre, no audience, no staff, just an empty space and one very deranged tour guide....
With a set of stolen keys in his pocket and a Gin habit to maintain Eddie King took his vitims on a once in a life-time tour of lost souls at the Tobacco Factory; around his weird and wonderful world of washed up comics, stage struck actors, serial daters, unrepentant smokers and the clinically insane.
Eddie King's Non-Refundable Tour of the Lost Souls was a unique event by the New Writing Company which used the whole of the Tobacco Factory Theatre building as a performance space for six new monologues by Joanne Lancastle, Phil John, Matt Grinter, Jasper Larsen,
Dom Rowe & Simon Harvey - Williams.
The event was directed by Sam Berger, artistic director of Plain Clothes Theatre Productions.
Gerard performed in Cimarron by Jasper Larsen,
which finds a mental health support worker describing the downfall of one of his patients. Meanwhile, the state of his own sanity is in question.
