Peer Productions (September 2014)
Posted by Richard on Friday 27th May 2016 at 11:26 PM
Mark's second year of actor training was at Peer Productions, based at Woking Youth Arts Centre in Knaphill ... which was convenient! Peer perform plays and run workshops in Surrey schools, covering a variety of social issues such as teenage pregnancy, eating disorders and self-harm. Tough subjects and a tough audience!

Mark completed his foundation course at

Rugby Tackles and Broken Ankles (March 2011)

It looks as though Tuesday 8 March 2011 marked the end of Mark's rugby career! He was never particularly keen, and having broken his ankle in three places, he's unlikely to go back to those places! ;-)
The Ragged Child (February 2011)

For Mark's final year at the Winston Churchill School, we were back for more musical theatre at the Rhoda McGaw Theatre in Woking. The Ragged Child was "a stark and moving account of child deprivation in the 1850s" - another excellent effort from all involved, but not too many laughs!
Calamity Jane (January 2010)

Winston Churchill took over the Rhoda McGaw Theatre in Woking for another 4 night run in January, this time bringing the Wild West to town. Another tremendous effort from all involved!
Leaps and Bounds (June 2009)
Posted by Mark on Friday 27th November 2009 at 12:57 AM
My performance for Leaps and Bounds was a little different this year. Rather than Doctor Evil, we decided to base the play on fairy tales. Which we did. Sophie and I were the faceless gnomes, Kalvind was the Big Bad Wolf, Emma was Little Bopeep and Kailie played Little Red Riding Hood.
A Midsummer Night's Dream (January 2009)

Mark's big-stage debut was in the Winston Churchill School Production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Rhoda McGaw Theatre in Woking.
Leaps and Bounds (June 2008)
Posted by Mark on Friday 18th July 2008 at 12:05 AM
You may be wondering what 'Leap and Bounds' was. It was a chance for students talented in drama and dance, from years 8 and 9 to show off their skills. The reason I was there was because I had been going to 'Drama Club'; this was where we thought of our performance. It was called 'The Unlikely Invention Of .
