Mark started in local theatre in 1977 with Kettering & District Youth Theatre Group in their pantomime, Aladdin. He has since gone on to perform in over 100 local, and sometimes not so local, productions.
Mark trained as a dancer in his teenage years with the Peggy Hale School of Dance and reached a respectable level.
Character credits of note include, Sky Masterson in Guys & Dolls, Danny in Grease, Cliff in Cabaret, P. T. Barnum in Barnum (3 times), Judd Fry in Oklahoma, The Narrator in Blood Brothers, Jim Fenner in Bad girls, The Cheif in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest and Lennie in Of Mice & Men to name but a few.
In the mid 90’s, Mark gained his Equity card and went on to appear in Eastenders, The Bill, This Life, Dalzial & Pascoe and four seasons of Casualty. He has also appeared in two feature films, the latest one being ‘Lady Godiva Back in the Saddle’ which premiered in November 2007.
In the last few years, Mark has returned to directing and has been at the helm of several productions in the area in that time and is looking forward to taking on more directorial work in the future.
One of Mark’s great loves is music and he found his own way of feeding this love by setting up Bonkers Disco in 1998. Still running to this day with the help of long time friend, Alan. Bonkers Disco caters for Wedding’s, Birthday’s, Christmas and Office parties etc. More details about Bonkers Disco can be found on the website.
Mark’s plans for the future are to tackle more interesting projects both as a performer and director and to establish ‘Bonkers Theatrical’ as a well respected Production Company in the Northamptonshire area.

Mark has also, recently, taken to writing and has published his first solo play, 'Mary's Secret Garden', based on the novel 'The Secret Garden' by Frances Hodgson Burnett. He is currently working on his second play, Live! with co writer Leisa Cooke, which will be performed by Bonkers Theatrical in May 2012. Live! will be available for performance by other groups after this date. More details on performance rights for both Mark's and other writers work can be found on this website under Script Publishing. We look forward to your enquiries.
