The Southern Counties Drama Festival - 2012 Adjudicator - Mike Tilbury G.o.D.A

The adjudicator for the 2012 festival will be Mike Tilbury G.o.D.A. Mike has been actively involved in theatre all his life and divides his time between acting, directing and adjudicating. He is a Council Member of the Guild of Adjudicators and as a past Chairman played a key role in bringing about a considerable change and modernisation within the Guild. He is currently Chairman of the Drama Festivals Consortium.

He has sat a number of times on the examining panel at the Selection Weekend for prospective adjudicators, run acting workshops and appeared several times at the famous Minack Open-Air Theatre in Cornwall.

As an actor he has appeared in everything from Ayckbourn to Ibsen and as director has particularly enjoyed the challenges of Tennessee Williams, Howard Brenton - and French farce. His last production was the classic English farce, See How They Run.

His adjudicating work has taken him all over the United Kingdom as well as to Gibraltar, Luxembourg, Belgium and Spain where he adjudicated the Costa Del Sol Festival - in English, with temperatures in the 90's and bats flying around the auditorium! He has adjudicated the English, Welsh, Irish and Scottish Finals and last year adjudicated the British Final for the All-England Theatre Festival for the second time. He has also adjudicated the All Winners Festival for the National Drama Festivals Association on three occasions.

He lives in Crowborough and is delighted to be returning to the Southern Counties Drama Festival after a gap of five years.
