John is a composer and sound designer based in Leeds, England. After studying music, he worked as a classical singer in London for several years, performing as a soloist and with vocal ensembles on numerous concert tours, radio programmes and recordings and working with world-renowned composers such as Arvo P\u00e4rt, James MacMillan and John Tavener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the course of his studies, however, he also became interested in theatre and began working as an actor during this time. He has subsequently performed in theatres throughout the UK, including the Bush and Unicorn in London, the Sheffield Crucible and Royal Exchange in Manchester and The Traverse in Edinburgh, as well as in many dramas and plays for BBC Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently he has returned to his first love: music. He composes for many theatre companies including Leeds Playhouse, National Theatre Wales, Sheffield Theatres, Conde Duque in Madrid and LA Theatre Works in California as well as for radio and podcast projects including the award-winning \u2018Dead Honest\u2019 podcast and \u2018Discover Your Inner Astronaut\u2019 for BBC Studios (forthcoming).

Hero has been waiting for a long time. A really long time. For an adventure, for an exciting journey full of challenges, dangers and dragons! Then he finally gets a call that changes everything. Hero is suddenly in a land that has fallen out of balance: Exclamation Face has stolen Questionhead's hat. Since then, no one has been able to ask questions anymore and everything is in chaos. Together with Sidekick, Hero sets out to find the hat - but not everything works out the way Hero had always imagined an adventure would...

With \"Land behind the Curtain\", JES invites you to immerse yourself: Into an imaginative world full of surprises and funny twists, but also full of dangers and doubts that have to be overcome. We ask ourselves the big questions of all fantasy tales:

What is worth fighting for? Does it even make sense to fight? Is there no other way? And does one person always have to save the world alone, or does it not take at least two, or even many more?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
