works by mark barkley

For the past twenty years, it has been my great pleasure to have created work that has been appreciated by various audiences throughout Brisbane

All of the plays included here have enjoyed a successful theatrical staging or reading within Australia

”The Captains and The Kings“ – 1995, ”Goodbye Melaleuca“ – 1996, ”Sylvia Terry“ – 1998 and ”A Kind of Belgium“ – 2000

Two of the plays featured here have been short listed in the George Landen Dann Award, which is Queensland’s premium award for excellence in playwriting

”The Captains and The Kings“ – 1992 and ”Goodbye Melaleuca“ – 1995

The short film ”Spades“ was short listed in the top ten films of the third annual What’s On Short Cut Film Fest and screened in 2001 at the Brisbane Powerhouse

It was also such a pleasure in 2007 to rewrite and update my book ”The Big Sugar Election“ which was originally completed in 1990

Please find free samples of my work for your perusal here

And, for a small contribution, you can find out how the stories end here

Currently I am at work on my next book which, pending on the desires of our newborn boisterous baby boy, will be posted here in 2009

Please Enjoy & Kindest Regards

Mark Barkley
