Voices from Gallipoli

Voices from Gallipoli – a one act play exploring the origins of the Anzac spirit. Written and performed by Mark Wright.

90 minutes of sageness and savagery – humour and hardship that will make you laugh and cry! Mark portrays nine very different characters from that disastrous campaign. From an 18-year-old conscript to an 80 year-old returned serviceman. However this is not a play about “war “it is about the human spirit, endurance and mateship during times of adversity.

What the critics have said:

“I’m still reeling a week after seeing it, from the beauty and power of Mark’s ‘tour de force ‘ voices from Gallipoli! “

“With a deft hand, Mark balances the sombre stories with humour. they are more than just stories, however poignant; they are people! “

“Thank you Mark for bringing your creativity and passion to help us understand these powerful messages still relevant today “

What the Audience have said:

“It was like you put the humanity back into a history book! “

“Didn’t think it would be my cup of tea! But I’m coming back tomorrow night with my sister and my mother!“

“You made me laugh and you made me cry … You bastard! “

“It’s not a history lesson… But I was moved, entertained and informed “
