Mark Farrelly

Mark Farrelly is originally from Sheffield, and now lives in London. He read English at Cambridge University. There he played major roles in ten productions, including professional work at the Cambridge Arts Theatre. One of his last undergraduate roles was playing Hamlet on a month's tour of North America, his first work with director Adam Barnard. Immediately after taking his degree he played both lead roles in a touring production of Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, then moved to London to take a role in John Caird's production of Body and Soul.

Mark has worked professionally for Activated Image on three occasions. He was one of two actors in Adam Barnard's production of 4.48 Psychosis (Sarah Kane's final play), before playing the title role in a new play about variety comedy, The Straight Man, at Pleasance, Edinburgh. Finally he played the lead, Dominic Clarke, in almost 100 performances of Stephen Fry's comedy Latin!, which toured to Cambridge, Edinburgh and Brighton before two London runs at the New End Theatre and the King's Head in Islington.

Other professional work includes the lead in Ibsen's An Enemy of the People at the Union Theatre, London, and playing Wilfred Owen in Not About Heroes at the Young Vic Studio and the Imperial War Museum. He appeared in the short film This Lie in 2003, and most recently played the lead in a new play, Bodyminds, at the Gielgud Theatre, RADA.
