Twelve of Aron's plays have been performed on television or radio.

My Brilliant Divorce has since been produced in 28 countries and as of 2016 is enjoying a 14 year record breaking run in Prague. A feature film is underway. Aron's produced stage plays include Same Old Moon (Geilgud Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue,) A Galway Girl, The Shrinking of Alby Chapman, Spider, On The Blue Train, Olive and Hilary, The Stanley Parkers, et al.
