Shows
Jonathan regularly presents solo performances, to great acclaim.
“A frozen finger tracing out my spine…” is an evening of Victorian ghost stories, with material from Dickens and MR James.
- “Leaning over the end of the bed, looking at me, was a figure, swathed in a tattered and rotten veiling…”
“Absolutely brilliant… very spooky… gripping and woderfully told…” (Walsall Leather Museum, October 2010)
More ghosts appear in “A Christmas Carol”, Charles Dickens’ perennial favourite. In a bravura performance, Jonathan uses masks, costumes and props to bring the story to life.
- “Now I am doomed to wander the world, and witness what I cannot share!” (Marley’s Ghost)
“An excellent portrayal of the Dickens characters, and a fine evocation of Christmas.” (Newhampton Arts Centre, December 2010)
Sherlock Holmes and Father Brown, two of literature’s greatest detectives, join forces to investigate the sudden death of Cardinal Tosca in “Elementary, Father Brown”.
- As unlikely a set of suspects as you will ever meet
”Intriguing… baffling… very entertaining…” (Arena Theatre, November 2009)
New for 2012!
“Haunted Dickens” takes the audience down moonlit highways and byways, where mysterious figures appear in the shadows, and nothing is quite what it seems.
“Paler in the pale light, he saw her coming, trailing herself along the floor towards him--a white wreck of hair, and dress, and wild eyes, pushing itself on by an irresolute and bending hand.”
