"​​Burn brings thrills , laughs and big roles to Lethbridge stage."

​- Joe Manio, Lethbridge Herald

The Players Guild of Hamilton production of Burn, 2024

"John Muggleton has the devious insight of Patricia Highsmith, the ingenious plotting of an Agatha Christie mystery with the dramatic pace of a Hitchcock thriller.  Think of a crazy blend of ‘Dial M for Murder’, ‘Strangers on a Train’, ‘And Then there were None’.

In the contemporary era of lucractive, financial scams, this is a meticulously crafted, slick, psychological thriller which delves into the exploitation of unsuspecting victims to plan the perfect crime. Type your paragraph here."
