Scott Marshall is an actor, director, lecturer and member of the Guild of Drama Adjudicators (GODA).
An Ulsterman by birth, he began his career at the age of nine in a play broadcast by the BBC and he has been involved in most aspects of professional and amateur theatre since.
He has been a tutor in acting and directing at workshops and summer schools over a number of years and has more recently specialised in weekend courses introducing drama groups to lesser known one act plays.
As well as being elected twice to the council of GODA, Scott is also a member of its Irish equivalent, the Association of Drama Adjudicators.
He has on no less than six occasions adjudicated the British All-Winners Final, the Irish full length and one act finals, the British, Scottish, English, Welsh and Northern Irish one act finals. Engagements further afield have included Brussels, Geneva, Luxembourg, The Hague, Gibraltar, Oman, Guernsey and the Orkneys.
In 2001 he was one of two (the other, a Canadian) invited to adjudicate the prestigious World Festival of Amateur Theatre, held every four years in Monte Carlo, where twenty-four countries from five continents presented the cream of international theatre.
A Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and formerIy a lecturer in English Literature, Scott took early retirement from the Headmastership of an independent school in Cheshire to enable him to concentrate more fully on his theatre pursuits. As well as his adjudicating Scott is involved in directing, theatre management and arts reviewing.
He looks forward to his third visit to Castle Hall and to meeting many good friends once again.
