Our distinguished adjudicator is an actor, director, playwright and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Scott has adjudicated 33 full length or One-Act Drama Finals throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe. These have included seven British All-Winners Finals since 1985, three Athlone All-Ireland Finals and six Irish One-Act Finals. These prestigious festivals, plus the fact that he has adjudicated two Scottish, two Welsh, three Northern Irish, five English and four British Finals, are testament to his outstanding reputation.
He has adjudicated in Europe and the Middle East and been 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 amateur theatre.
Scott has recently turned to playwriting and his first full-length play called \"Home Boy\", was produced professionally by The Playhouse, Derry in 2009 and toured to a number of venues in the province. His second play, a comedy for three women entitled \"The Threefold Cord\", was published by Samuel French in 2010. This year two of his one-act plays opened the autumn programme in The Riverside Theatre, Coleraine, one of which Scott was invited to direct himself.
Details and synopses of nine of his one-act plays, specifically written for the amateur circuit and now published by Cressrelles Publishing Company or The Drama Association of Wales, can be found on www.scottmarshallplays.com.
Scott Marshall will give his adjudication after each performance.
