King Reviews
Stage and Cinema- Highly Recommended
"...From the moment Irish actor extraordinaire Pat Kinevane appears out of the darkness as if in a dream, his lithe body moving as seductively as a snake into a sexy Argentine Tango, you will be entranced to meet Luther, a lonely Elvis Impersonator looking for love in all the wrong places. Taking place in his dark apartment with very little furniture - which almost seems as if it's Luther's own, private insane asylum - Kinevane takes us on an impactful journey through the life of this mentally challenged man in his latest solo show King, during which Luther's lifelong memories motivate him to keep on going because things have "just got to get better." And that is all any of us can hope for during these confusing times."
Stage Raw- Recommended
"...King, presented by Odyssey Theatre Ensemble and Fishamble: The New Play Company, is a solo show written and performed by Kinevane that tells the story of Luther, an Irishman from Corks who is plagued by his past and the implications they have on his present. Luther, named after Martin Luther King Jr., tells stories of the people in his life so as to indirectly share bits of himself that are difficult to admit - all while he prepares for a big performance as an Elvis Impersonator. In collaboration with director Jim Culleton, Kinevane shares a haunting performance that balances comedic tales with a heartwrenching reality."
