The Southern Counties Drama Festival - 2017 Adjudicator - Mike Tilbury G.o.D.A

The adjudicator for the 2017 festival will be Mike Tilbury G.o.D.A. Mike has been actively involved in theatre all his life and has divided his time between acting, directing and adjudicating. He has been a Council Member of the Guild of Adjudicators, a position he held on a number of occasions and as a past Chairman he played a key role in bringing about considerable change and modernisation within the Guild. He was Chairman of the Drama Festivals Consortium for 15 years.

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 a director has particularly enjoyed the challenges of Tennessee Williams, Howard Brenton - and French farce. He last directed a production of Michael Frayn's Donkey's Years.

His adjudicating work has taken him all over the United Kingdom as well as to Gibraltar, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany 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 as well as the British Final for the All-England Theatre Festival. He has also adjudicated three All Winners Festivals for the National Drama Festivals Association.

He adjudicated the Betchworth Drama Festival on five occasions and now is delighted to be returning to adjudicate his third Southern Counties Drama Festival.
