about
Robert Neumark-Jones was given his name years before his birth, after his mum had a dream in which Bob Dylan spoke with her. Born with a similarly curly bob, and on Shakespeare’s birthday, Robert for many years tried to claim authorship of either geniuses’ works. When that fell flat (though he still hasn’t given up), he turned his hand to his own writing, and has been performing and publishing for many years.
Having worked in TV as a teenager, Robert graduated with an MA in Theatre and Performance from the University of Sheffield in 2008. Since then Robert has continued to pursue his passion for acting in both Theatre and Short Film.He was one of the devisors and performers for the LAB Project at The Sheffield Crucible Theatre (run exclusively for young performers with promise) and has workshopped with Punch Drunk Theatre, Forced Entertainment, Fine Chisel, Howard Brenton and Trevor Griffiths.
In 2010 he made his Edinburgh debut in Stop, Look, Listen, for which he personally received the top NSDF Commendation, and was selected for the NSDF 2011 Festival. The 2012 festival saw the debut play by his own theatre company Ninth Life, of which Howard Brenton is honorary patron. “The Questionnaire” co-written with and co-starring Christopher Birks, played the whole month to rave reviews. He is constantly back and forth between New York and London, the two greatest cities in the world. Robert acts, gardens and continues to write poetry, short stories, and plays. He was recently awarded a scholarship at Drama Centre London for the September MA Acting course. Contact him. He’ll like you.
