The Fifteen Streets (Theatre)

Status:Completed
Production Dates:   Feb 18 1999 - Mar 25 1999
Role:"John O'Brien" (Lead) - Tough yet emotional dock worker in 1920's Tyneside


Public performance at BSSD.  I played the lead character in this adaptation of the Catherine Cookson novel. 

I worked exeptionally hard for this and began to realise how much I enjoyed immersing myself in a character.  I developed a Tyneside accent for this role.  The performance ran for four shows at a public venue in Birmingham.

FEEDBACK ON CHERRY ORCHARD. 73% " Your Yepikhodov was very good. Good, principally because he was real. I did not sense the actor peeking through to see how he was getting on. You created and inhabited the world of the character very well. I wondered if you might not have made more of the vocal characterisation? Just a thought. For me, this was an admirable follow up to John O'Brien. Where John was a good piece of work, thorough and well rounded, this was total - you really had embodied the man in the style of the direction. This was a performance which developed from run to run and aquired greater sublety as it progressed. Well done." D. Vann. END OF TERM COMMENTS. "I have been enormously impressed by your commitment, focus and energy. Also by your sponge like desire for imput. You need to complete the process of internalising the physicality so that it is never an imposition, but always a response to a real human being." D. Vann

"Jon - you are to be congratulated on your performance in 'The Fifteen Streets'. It had depth and emotion and we saw the development of a 'man' over a period of time. Continue to bring this truth of performance into all the characters you play." {{Professor P. Yardley}}
