Garry does not have much history on stage so still has a sense of wonderment about the different processes involved in putting on a production and loves learning from different directors and cast members. Since 2019 Garry has appeared in various roles such as Detective Inspector Appleton in Suddenly at Home, Max in Marble Arch; Detective Sergeant Mick Ross in Breaking the Code, the Knife Grinder in Oliver! and Deke Brenton in Brenton Versus Brenton. This is Garry's second production with Horse Box, after playing Harry Dangle in the recent One Man, Two Guvnors, and he has thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the rehearsals, as Holly and the cast bring the traits of the characters in Ryde Boy to life.
