JOHN MORAN : SOLO SERIES
Composer / Perforning-Artist
'Thailand'
"John Moran has the unique ability to find beauty in every day occurrences, and of such profundity, that we mere mortals might easily have missed."
- About Oxford
"This sort of theatre is unique to John Moran and really must be seen to be properly understood. It is variably uplifting and crushing, wonderfully optimistic and then utterly mundane - but always totally honest and all the more revealing for it."
- Andrew Johnson, Daily Info
'Etudes: Amsterdam'
"Anyone who loves experimental music and theater will be blown away…truly beautiful."
- Off Script (UK)
"The sense of loneliness, melancholy, drifting, is embedded in the fabric of the show. There is nothing really between this artist and his art."
- Exeunt Magazine (UK)

- Philip Glass
'Goodbye, Thailand'
"A moving, funny, thoroughly engrossing piece about the unravelling of Moran’s relationship. It is almost disconcerting, the ease with which Moran appears to leave his body, his own personality entirely vanishing to make way for the personality of the character he creates. His body language, the way his facial muscles move, and of course the voice, every aspect of a person is seamlessly brought together in a minutely detailed portrayal of the protagonists of the story."
- Venue (UK)
"The production is so seamless, that it is sometimes hard to spot when Moran is about to make a transition from speaking to us directly to performing. It’s amazing what he can make us 'see' when he is working with only a stool, lighting states and sound effects."
- Mayfest (Bristol)
"A bewilderingly beautiful expression of life as art. It's stunning. It's difficult. And it's unique."
- Exeunt Magazine (UK)
