Awards and Praise for BURN

NOMINATED FOR 6 CAPITAL CRITICS AWARDS INCLUDING "BEST NEW PLAY"

★★★★★
"Burn is a highly suspenseful ghost story that holds you in its fiery grip right up until the final moments."  

   Alan MacKay On Stage Ottawa
                                                     
  

★★★★★

"Muggleton is a talented playwright who is able to construct a complex network of relations that let themselves morph into an apparent horror story before anyone realizes what is happening. Muggleton knows his craft and even when the end seems in sight, he still keeps us begging for more until the final moments."

Recent acting credits include David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross (Best Production 2015 Capital Critics Awards), Speed-The-Plow (Outstanding Male Actor nomination Prix Rideau Awards, Best Actor nomination Capital Critics Circle Awards), and The Extremely Short New Play Festival 2017. For television, John was a writer on Mann to Mann, directed by Derek Diorio (Hard Rock Medicine, House of Luc) featuring Patrick McKenna. A member of ACTRA, The Canadian Actors Equity Association and the Playwrights Guild of Canada, John is a co-founder of the Ottawa Acting Company and a recipient of the Audrey Ashley Award for longstanding dedication to the Ottawa theatre community. As a playwright, John has written many historical plays for Parks Canada, and his first full-length play, Burn, was nominated as Best New Play of 2017 by the Ottawa Capital Critics Circle and has since been produced in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K.  An Act of Grace, John's second full-length play, was performed at the Eastern Ontario Drama League Festival in November of 2018 and was awarded Best Production, Best Ensemble, The People's Choice Award and an adjudicators award for Outstanding Achievement in Playwriting. Grace has since been produced at the Gladstone and the Avalon Studio in Ottawa, Canada and is slated to be produced in 2021 in Toronto, Canada
