Nocturn was Jon Bonfiglio’s first produced play. Focusing on the relationship between three people who meet in the night on London’s streets in the long hot summer of 2003, it played for two weeks in London in 2006, featuring Julain Lamoral-Roberts and Ross Devlin.

In 1936, hundreds of British men went to fight in the Spanish Civil War. Of all of them, only six fought for the Fascists.

Now, only one survives.

Human Remains opened at London’s Canal Cafe Theatre in August 2007 and was later adapted for radio.

Ad astra per aspera
(A rough road leads to the stars)
Inscription at Launch Complex 34 at Kennedy Space centre where all three crew members of the first Apollp spacecraft died in 1967.

Our heroes and our Gods, under scrutiny, have become dwarves.
As if that was something they could ever be.
That we could ever allow.
That’s why we rail against the day’s passing, struggle to get in another word or action, because tomorrow…
Tomorrow we may not know where we stand.
Not recognise ourselves when we stop to look.

Pluto opened in London in May 2008 before transferring to Spain for the Kuiperfest festival, where it was also recorded live for radio broadcast.

“Like a knife to our collective throats. If this doesn’t make you think, nothing will.” BBC Radio

“Jon Bonfiglio is rapidly becoming the thinking man’s playwright.” Richmond and Twickenham Times.

Midnight, When Trumpets Cry opened at the Brighton Fringe Festival in May 2009 before touring, culminating in a run at London’s Theatre 503 in October of the same year.
