WINCHESTER TODAY on Robin Hood 'the script was great...action-packed and flowed well' DAILY ECHO/HAMPSHIRE CHRONICLE on Robin Hood 'The whole play was very funny from start to finish' NODA on Robin Hood * ★★★★ ACTDROP ★★★★ FEMALE ARTS MAGAZINE on Legion * 'a very funny play' FEMALE ARTS MAGAZINE on A.I. Guy 'plenty of laughs' A VIEW FROM THE GODS on A.I. Guy * Collection of SHORT plays - Babies, Gone, Dating, Shakespeare's Women, One Hundred and Eighty, Quanto Sel Bella, Guilt & Lorelei 'These short plays are often amusing, sometimes poignant, and in one case cleverly unsettling.' EWAN LEAFROLL ★★★★ 'A real find for your drama production. Insightful and entertaining.' ★★★★★ 'I really like Jonathan's writing style. Much of the dialogue he writes is very short (sometimes only one word) that speaks volumes about the characters. All the plays are about relationships, some are very funny, some are very serious. [Guilt & Lorelei] are brilliantly written in the way you get a snap shot of the characters, yet you feel like you know their whole life story. ' P JOSEPH |
