The play will showcase the amazing life story of road repairer Mark Preston and his alter ego Zandra
A Nottingham theatre company has written and produced a play about the extraordinary life of local performer Mark Preston - starring an actor who has appeared in Happy Valley and Downton Abbey. Mark, who performs as his alter ego Zandra, has helped to raise thousands of pounds for charities across Nottingham including Danielle's Flutterbyes, Broxtowe Women's Project and Haywood House.
"There are a lot of stories in communities that don't get on the stage or a page so Open Pitch is a way of finding those stories and connecting people. We saw Mark a lot on local telly and were intrigued by his story so we got in touch to ask him if he would want to have a chat with us." "Karl Haynes, who plays Mark, was my first choice of the perfect person to play Mark as they are a similar age and both working class so they have a complete understanding of those club nights that people go to after a hard week's graft to let loose," Jayne said. "I knew Karl would really embrace the opportunity to tell Mark's story - he really believes in community and the telling of stories that don't often get told.
