What I do:

actor/ writer/ director

A little more about me:

I have worked extensively in theatre- rep, West End, played the lead in THE CORN IS GREEN opposite Annette Crosbie, the lead in Steven Berkoff's GREEK Off Broadway, LA, San Francisco,Davies in the CARETAKER in LA and most recently, UNDER MILK WOOD alongside Matthew Rhys and Kate Burton at the James Bridges Theatre in LA. I have recently written and directed LAND OF FLOWERS - a stage piece set in Florida in 1945 and have directed rehearsed readings of this at Newport Pembs Memorial Hall, The Matrix Theatre, West Hollywood, Electric Lodge in Venice, The Actor's Company, West Hollywood and at the Moth Theatre Lost Angeles. It was well received and I have posted comments in this regard on the writer section of my website. I am preparing to do more staged readings and would be grateful for any advice you might have to offer.I am currently working on shooting and editing DEEP
SECRETS - which some time ago won the Korda Film Award. It is set in Pembrokeshire and is a British/ American conspiracy theory thriller. I am also working on a Welsh/ American project- SOUTH OF MADONNA- a story about the family casualties of British and U.S.military conflict. It is set both in Wales and California. I have many full length plays in development GET HAPPY which received interest at the Royal Court, MILLSTONE - a verse play set in West Wales, TELL a verse play set in the south of France, NO PROMISE OF SEASHELLS a two hander set in Waterloo Station and many others. I have spent my life as an actor (LAMDA) three years, a qualified schoolteacher - 100 plus London schools and an extensive experience working in theatre, radio, television and film in the U.S. Catrin Brace at the WDA in NY might testify to the quality of the work I am capable of, having arranged fora special Welsh evening after a performance of UNDER MILK WOOD which had a hugely successful run in LA. I ask humbly that you might consider giving me a creative opportunity to show what I am capable of.

With gratitude, Johnhfrancis
