This short course has always proved very useful to me. This will be the third time I do it. After both previous courses, I have signed up to do the Brighton Fringe. Jonathan gives clear and direct feedback, which I have always found useful and constructive. Some people struggle with hearing the feedback but I’ve always appreciated this style as it gives me areas to work on and have never taken it personally, as it’s not personal. It’s not a large commitment in time or in finances, but has given me enough structure to springboard creating a show.” Cheryl Roberts.

It (the showcase) was a night for me to remember for sure. I’m pinching myself.

Thank you so much for the course. I couldn’t imagine on that first night that I’d have written a short play (rather than just a scene or two) and pull it off on stage without set, props or anything bar the music. Sarah Hickingbottom (The Woman Who Conceived the Pill, 2017)

“Your solo show course was really life changing for me. Literally. It gave me the confidence to perform with zero training and theatrical background and allowed me to see myself as a performer and go on to develop the work you saw last night…. ” Anna Atkinson

“Jonathan Brown is not only an excellent performer but an excellent mentor/director too. His course was one of the best things I could have done for myself in 2020.” Paul Sinclair 2020 (“Alien Phlegm”)
We’ve worked with over 60 students since 2012, and turned out many, many successful shows, including award winners, new commissions and multi-star reviews.

“Jonathan, I cannot thank you enough for unlocking something in
me that has been laying stagnant for so long.

Your course has enabled me to write my story with confidence. Your attention to detail allowed me to focus on the characters and what they wanted to say. I was encouraged to write from the heart, no matter how it would come out and that’s just what I did. Thanks to you, I have now been commissioned not only as an actor but also as a writer. I would recommend this course to anyone who has a story to tell.” Lorna Gayle 2017 (“Nine Night”)
