'Wilson'; Film
‘Wilson’, a short film I appeared in, is now available for viewing.
Directed by Karin Heslop for Nirak films, it was shot in a day, in one continuous take, and was somewhat challenging, but great fun to do:
Two teachers spend their time in the gallery to vent their anger towards the younger and more popular teacher Wilson.
Director: Karin Heslop Potts
Writer: Terry Roeche
Producer: Keith Potts
- CAST -
Boades: Ruth James
Cooper: Alex Jones
‘River’s Up’; Play
My play ‘River’s Up’ is to be produced in February 2022 at the prestigious Teatro Vittoria in Rome with an Italian translation, ‘Effeto Serra’ (Greenhouse Effect).
I am proud to see it in Italy again, where it has proved to be very successful in two previous productions there, and of course given the current state of this fragile planet’s eco-system its subject matter I believe is more important than ever. Climate change is something I have been writing about for many years, and I believe ‘River’s Up’ may have been the first stage play to seriously tackle this subject.

Some text here about the blogs
Alex Jones Playwright
Welcome to my blog! I am a playwright, actor and director and thought I would like to share my thoughts and opinions about my work, future projects, aspirations and what inspires me to write... and just about 'stuff' too! It's hard to pin me down as regards a style, because I write about very diverse subjects, and although I sometimes write naturalistic drama, I have also written plays with poetic text and more experimental structures. I have written for stage, screen and radio, and a great deal of poetry as well.
A History Of The World In 100 Poems
A response in poetry to the BBC Radio 4 Series, 'A History Of The World In 100 Objects' by the writer, Alex Jones. Not just about each specific object, but also based on the broadcast itself, taking into account the research, ideas and points of view by both Mr Macgregor and the various contributors involved.
