ONE SHOT was the first play Mark wrote. He also directed and performed the one-man show about a Charlie, a loner obsessed with Robert De Niro, which premiered at Belvoir Street Theatre in Sydney in 1993. Since then, ONE SHOT has toured the world including Britain, USA and New Zealand. A monologue from ONE SHOT appears in the Currency Press publication Solo.
