Ulsterman Scott Marshall is a former actor, drama tutor and prizewinning director. He is best known in amateur theatre as an international adjudicator, in a role that has seen him adjudicating no less than 7 British All-Winners Finals, 3 All-Ireland Athlone Finals, 4 British One Act Finals, 3 English Finals and the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish Finals twice each. He was also 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 24 countries from 5 continents presented their selected prize-winning plays. Recently turning to playwriting, he has had immediate success. His first full length play, Home Boy Home, was produced professionally, touring a number of venues including the Opera House, Belfast. His second full length, The Threefold Chord has been published by Samuel French and his first one act to appear on the amateur festival circuit, Winnie's Boy, won Best Actress, Best Director and Best Play for the Essex-based Bejou Players at the Thurrock Festival in 2011. In September 2011 two of his one acts will appear at the Riverside Theatre, Coleraine - Winnie's Boy and The Replacement, which he has been invited to direct.

Threefold Cord, The

Threefold Cord, The
Sir Marcus Pennington appears to have it all: a beautiful actress wife, Victoria, two loving daughters and a successful career as a respected barrister. But behind the facade he is leading a triple life, romancing two other women: Dexie, a prostitute, and Millicent, the widow of his best friend, now his PA. In a series of highly engaging monologues, Victoria, Dexie and Millicent tell Marcus's story from three very different perspectives. Preoccupied and detached, Victoria is seemingly oblivious to his indiscretions - and guilty of her own - but regards him with fond indulgence. Shy, self-deprecating Millicent can't help but be taken in by the promise of romance and passion that was lacking in her marriage. Dexie hopes that Marcus will provide a route out of poverty - all the more necessary after she gives birth to his illegitimate son.
