Shakespeare's Histories
Brave Spirits Theatre
In Audio
Shakespeare’s epic eight play saga captures the cyclical nature of violence and history, while showcasing poignant domestic stories of families and their divided loyalties. Each chapter in this saga is extraordinary in its own right; together, they become a theatrical event unlike any other. Over the 2020 and 2021 seasons, Brave Spirits Theatre is making history by becoming the first professional American theatre company to mount full productions of Shakespeare’s two history plays tetralogies and perform them in repertory. Performing near the nation’s capital, Brave Spirits brings a distinctly American stamp to these plays and stages them in the company’s signature actor-driven, intimate, and dark style.
Timothy - Hand to God @ Keegan Theatre
"Jordan Brown as the rebellious student Timmy is especially good at delivering sarcastic retorts with zesty and confident comic timing and he possesses a fine skill at physical comedy."
"Another standout performance is that of Brown’s Timmy. Brown masterfully leans into the naïve bully routine and, in this production, it works." - MD Theatre Guide
Charles/Silvius - As You Like It @ Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
"Charles, the wrestler, appears for the match as a ridiculous luchador, complete with silver mask. Jordan Brown, as Charles, has all the arrogance and swagger needed to deserve his defeat."
"Phebe’s suitor, Silvius (Jordan Brown, again), is blockheaded and terrifically soppy over a woman who doesn’t want him.
Ralmond - Sometimes the Rain, Sometimes the Sea
@ Rorschach Theatre
"Rain Cloud (a persuasively impassioned Sydney Dionne) falls instantaneously in love with a young man name Ralmond (a nimbly expressive Jordan Brown)."
Claudio - Much Ado About Nothing @ Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
"Jordan Brown, as Claudio, captured my heart on his first awkward and lovely hello to Hero, then broke it with his cruel misguided rejection of his love. Brown was soft with a razor’s edge, present and emotionally complex in his portrayal."
"Brown has a fantastic stage presence that is both graceful and energetic. He is the hesitant Romeo to Benedict's brash swashbuckler."
Thami Mbikwana - My Children! My Africa! @ Washington Stage Guild
"Brown as Thami, like Barnard as Isabel, also goes through changes, but his are...different...If this was a story of an American colonist who becomes radicalized as the Revolution approaches, you might say it was like...Hamilton." -Broadway World
"The scenes in the second act between Barnard and Brown are fierce, ugly, and raw, and yet, hopeful. These two burn up the stage and it’s a catharsis for the audience as well. Truth has finally been told."
Curtis - Time Is On Our Side @ Perisphere Theatre
"He keeps Curtis from being a stereotype. His interactions with Delgado as Rene are unforgettable, especially in the scene when Rene teaches Curtis about “cruising,” one of the highlights of the production."
"Jordan Brown is a hoot as Curtis, comfortable in his own queer skin, perspectives, and mannerisms."
Jock - Columbinus @ The Theatre Lab School of Dramatic Arts
"Brown brought depth to the stereotype of the high school jock by portraying the characters inherent sense of entitlement, due to his hard work. "
