SEVEN and a half YEARS is deeply autobiographical, charting a life shaped by early brilliance, profound responsibility, devastating illness and a hard-won return to creativity. It is intimate and – surprisingly – uplifting. It is  a powerful blend of songs, dialogue and soundscapes

A sudden and unexplained breakdown left Mark with tinnitus, insomnia and muteness. For seven years, he lived in near-total isolation, spending up to 23 hours a day in silence. Doctors could offer no explanation. Survival itself felt uncertain.
And yet, this is ultimately a story of return.

SEVEN and a half YEARS is a reminder that creativity can survive silence, that music can return after loss, and that it is never too late to begin again.

It is not just a one-man play – it is an act of courage, resilience and creative rebirth, delivered with honesty, humility and, all, beautiful MUSIC.

A quietly powerful, musically beautiful and deeply human piece of theatre.
