Making a Mark

Making a Mark is an award-winning autobiographical theatre production by Shaun Dunne, co-created with Mark Smith and Aisling Byrne.

Mark has competed in the World Games, played King Lear before, packed houses and packed bags for 20 years in Tesco’s… But that’s not even half the story.

Part live interview, part self-led confessional, this is Mark’s life and he’s ready to take a seat at the table. Ambition, disruption, grief and frustration. He hopes this show will be the making of him.

Following the sell out success of Making A Mark’s premiere at the Dublin Fringe Festival 2019 (nominated for Best Production, Best Performer, Wilde Courage Award & Winner of the Judge’s Choice Award) the production embarked on a nine venue national tour across 2022 supported by the Arts Council of Ireland.
