Welcome to the official website of actor, writer, director and producer John Rackham.

I had another life entirely. But now I've realised that I have to tell stories: as an actor, as a writer and as a director. If have to be a producer to get it done, then that's good too.

I've taken 5 shows to the San Francisco Fringe - two sketch comedy shows, two adaptations and one original play. In 2006 my company won a Best of Fringe Award.

My stage adaptation of Conrad's Heart of Darkness was described by a member of the Conrad Society as "The yardstick by which we judge all adaptations of Conrad's work."

Film work includes British indies Richard III, Greetings, Counterfeit Butterfly and Ross Boyask's cult actioners Left for Dead and Ten Dead Men.

I've written, produced and directed 4 shorts and my feature Bloodmyth, learning as I go.
