OUR CURRENT PRODUCTION
In this re-imagined version of King Lear, perhaps Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, Lear is the story of an aging queen, who, after failing to get the show of devotion she expects from her three daughters, divides her kingdom, destroys her family, and banishes those closest to her leaving her kingdom in ruins.
I can't thank you enough for your kindness and generosity as a tutor. You inspired me with your wealth of knowledge and experience, and the clarity with which you taught me.
Kirsty Mather, Professional Actor
Working with Mark has not only opened my voice to be able to achieve a wider range and gain a better understanding of my own vocal capacity, but take control of how the audience sees my work in a performance.
Olivia Harris, Professional Actor
Mark has been instrumental in my audition prep, developing my confidence, text analysis, playing tactics and adding complexity to the scene, and ultimately, getting a place in an acting school.
