Love's Comedy by Henrik Ibsen UK PREMIERE Translated and directed by Don Carleton 31st March to April 3rd 2004 at the Redgrave Theatre, Bristol Kelvin Players Theatre Company Styver "Jason Stevens as Styver convincingly enacts the astute young career man with a practical mind, the opposite of both the naïve Lind and the anarchist Falk." BBC Online Review Read the full BBC Online Review "A fine earnestness and subservience...well projected...beautifully observed piece of play and timing...fine body language and well timed humour. Throughout his performance [Jason] projected the pompous character with fine relating to all other characters and played with excellent body language and fine pointing of the comedy of text and situation." Barbara Smith, Rose Bowl Review BBC Online Preview This Is Bristol Preview

Invisible Friends by Sir Alan Ayckbourn, directed by Sally Noble Kelvin Players Theatre Company December 2003 Walt Baines "Although the actors are "masques" rather than fully rounded real characters, comedy is used to make a serious point of a family of people who don’t communicate with each other....Mr Baines (Jason Stevens) [is] a lazy couch potato who portrays indifference to the world beyond his sofa and television with some delightful facial expressions." BBC Online Review Read the full review here
"The opportunities for comedy in this role were fully taken. There were many hilarious moments, appearance, body language, voice and movement carried through the perception of a hen pecked lazy slob in between glimpses of Lucy's ideal daddy. These were very successful and great fun for the audience." "Lucy's fantasy ideal family seen only in brief snatches was very amusing in their choreographed and well timed execution...The principal line up with their contrasting roles was polished and well rehearsed with some excellent comedy timing and movement." Linda Evans, Rose Bowl Review

Much Ado About Nothing - Kelvin Players April/May 2003. Rose Bowl 2003 Winner: John Coe Award for Best Dramatic Production Don John "The casting was also spot on when it came to Jason Stevens as Don John, who was the embodiment of evil" BBC Online Review "...he presented a venomous coldness, well suited to character...his diction is crisp and he carefully selects emphasis. The one, glinting smile came as a splendidly dramatic shock." June Rayner, Rose Bowl Review A Midsummers Night's Dream - The St Alban's Players - November 2002 Theseus, Duke of Athens. |

The Crucible - Kelvin Players, Bristol, October 2002 The Reverend John Hale in Arthur Miller's play. "[Jason Stevens as Hale]...his loss of control over the proceedings in court was another highlight of the evening. His weakness was carefully paced to reveal his confusion at the end...this was a multi layered performance with expressive vocal skills and body language" Linda Evans, Rose Bowl Review

Twelve Angry Men - Shinfield Players Theatre 2001 Juror 3. "Juror 8 is one of the "lousy bunch of bleeding hearts" in the eyes of Juror 3. Jason Stevens carries the blind bigot through fury and ferment" WOC, Reading Evening Post "An excellent characterisation" Barrie Theobald, NODA Review

" Jason Stevens as the prosecuting Blair-Booth, voices a fine appreciation of what he is saying; a man who is well versed in using words as weapons" WOC, Reading Evening Post "Jason Stevens was suitably aggressive as the prosecuting counsel" Bron, Reading Chronicle "A good, 'smarmy' and aggressive style which turned to beligerence when you were proved to be wrong...led to a skilful potrayal of this individual...a very creditable performance." Barrie Theobald, NODA Review
Dick Whittington - Shinfield Players Theatre 2000 King Rat. "..the loathsome King Rat (Jason Stevens) was blacker than black as the token baddie...Jason Stevens evidently enojoyed his role as the nasty Rat" Lesley Saunders, Reading Chronicle
