John Middleton was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (USA).

He was a teacher for 43 years at a German school in Hamburg where he taught English, Drama and Art.

He has also spent over 35 years subtitling films and translating screenplays (www.middleton-group-translations.com).

During the past 30 years he has performed his own five one-act plays (“David, the Death of a Clown”, “Carnival at Castle Rock”, “Killing Daddy”, “Little Goethe” and “Das Kleid”) at small theaters in and around Hamburg.  

 

 

THE PLAYLET SERIES is his latest writing project, topical collections of scenes in English for English learners from Year 1 to Year 12 (Level 1 to Level 6) who want to perform (english-playlets.com).

 

THE PLAYLET SERIES is designed for a normal-sized English class and for students with varying interests in acting. Since there is a large number of roles in every PLAYLET collection – none of which are really minor – students who enjoy acting can perform in several scenes and play to their heart’s content, whereas students who aren’t particularly keen on acting only have one role to master in one single scene.
