Mark Salvestro - Full body shot-low-res.jpg

Hi, I'm Mark! I'm an actor, writer and producer based in Sydney, having spent 20 or so years living and working in Melbourne, Canberra, and Cooma in southeast NSW.

I create text-based theatre works, often exploring queer life, regional living, history, and themes of coming of age.

​​

Most recently, I've been working on a three-hander play called 'The Queen's City of the South', which is inspired by the history of the Cooma Gaol and its use as a 'gay prison' from 1957-1984.

Since premiering the play at Qtopia Sydney in 2024, I'm preparing the show for a regional tour and adapting it into a TV series.

My previous solo works have been performed in both metro and regional communities, and have had some pretty nice things said about them. In fact, ‘The Will To Be’ won a Best Theatre Weekly Award at Adelaide Fringe 2020.

Acting and storytelling told with honesty, skill and perfection.

★★★★½

ROBERTO CHUTER, ARTS HUB

Salvestro is a masterful performer, generously delivering a pitch perfect performance that is staggeringly layered and nuanced.

It’s exciting to see modern Australian theatre with political maturity, a piece that suggests real change can happen.
