Alan Richardson

Born: 

Based: Edinburgh, UK

Work Sought: Anything considered - especially Hollywood

Theatrical Experience/Training:
Alan caught the Amdram bug back in 1969. Since then he had been involved with over 120 productions with local amateur theatre groups, dividing his time between directing, acting and staging. He also works as stage director at local and regional drama festivals and has appeared four times in the World-famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo. His writing career began in 1973 when his first plays, Nicht o' the Blunt Claymore, won the Scottish Community Drama Association Full Length playwriting competition. He followed that by winning the next year's SCDA One Act playwriting competition. Another six awards followed, including the Scott Salver for best original play in the British One Act Festival. His plays have enjoyed over 600 performances, mainly in the U.K., but also in Holland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.
