Toyer, the psychological thriller by Gardner McKay, receives a London premiere.

When a charming stranger appears at psychologist Maude’s remote house in the LA hills one night, an innocent encounter soon becomes a sexually charged battle of wits. Is he merely a playful admirer or the Toyer, a disturbed man who performs unspeakable acts of violence on his female victims. A cat and mouse game of verbal, psychological and physical intrigue ensues, where one player must outwit the other.

Toyer playwright Gardner McKay became famous playing the role of Adam Troy in the 1960s television series Adventures In Paradise. An acclaimed novelist and playwright, he was a reluctant heart-throb who twice appeared on the cover of Life magazine and turned down the opportunity to appear in a film opposite Marilyn Monroe. His plays include Sea Marks (New York Drama Critics’ Award Best Play), Masters Of The Sea, This Fortunate Island, Landmarks, In Order Of Appearance, Island In A Dry Sea, Gala and A Christmas Dinner.

Toyer star Al Weaver recently played the role of Christian in Channel 4’s highly acclaimed television drama series The Devils Whore, while Laurence Olivier Award-winner Alice Krige is known to millions for her role as the Borg Queen in the film, Star Trek: First Contact, a role she later reprised in the final episode of the tv series, Star Trek: Voyager.
