John Muggleton’s first full-length play, Burn, was nominated for Best New Play of 2017 by the Ottawa Capital Critics Circle and has since been produced in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. In 2022, Burn played to sold-out audiences and rave reviews at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world's biggest performing arts festival. An Act of Grace, Muggleton's second full-length play, was performed at the Eastern Ontario Drama League Full Length Festival in November 2018 and was awarded best production, best ensemble, the people’s choice award and an adjudicator’s award for outstanding achievement in playwriting. An Act of Grace was also performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it also played to sold-out audiences. Muggleton also wrote and produced multiple historical plays for Parks Canada that were performed for several years across Eastern Ontario, earning him the prestigious CEO Award of Excellence.
