Biography
Originally from New Zealand, Jonathan has lived and worked in the UK for just over ten years.
His stage adaptation of Just William’s Luck, first performed with Underbelly as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, went on to tour theatres across the UK and Europe. His short work Effin’ was commissioned by The Colton Acre Trust and performed at the Norwich Arts Centre. Jonathan’s unproduced screenplay, The Last Hurrah of Pete and the Kūmara Cateran was honoured at the 2022 International Watersprite Film Festival, and he was the 2023 recipient of the Snoo Wilson Prize for his play Leave a Part of Yourself Here.
Productions
One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special.
