His second book, ESL Shakespeare: 101 Everyday Phrases,[9][10] also published by Smith & Kraus, was released in 2013.

In 2018, Jago published two more theatre books with Smith & Kraus, From Courts to Dungeons,[11][12] and The Actor's Complete Shakespeare Sonnet Bible.[13][14]

Educated at The University of Oxford, Jago first trained as an actor[19] at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama before a change of career in 2004 to focus on directing and writing for theatre and in 2014 he founded the Los Angeles-based theatre company, Raze the Space, which produces an annual festival of ten-minute plays and theatre awards at The Samuel French Bookstore in Hollywood.
