Alan Richardson was born and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland. He caught the "amdram" 
bug back in 1969, serving his theatrical apprenticeship with local group Edinburgh People's Theatre. He moved on to become a founder member of Edinburgh Youth Theatre, and worked with several other groups. Since 1978, he has mostly worked with the Mercators, one of Edinburgh's oldest  drama groups. During his thirty eight years in amateur theatre, he has acted in over sixty plays, directed thirty, and been actively involved in at least another twenty five. He has also been a film extra, has appeared four times in the world famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and works as stage director at local and regional drama festivals. His most recent project was filming at Edinburgh's 18th century Georgian House. 
Since his first play was written in 1973, he has won eight playwriting competitions including the Geoffrey Whitworth Trophy for the best original play entered in the British One Act Festival. His One Act plays have won many trophies at Drama Festivals including several best actor/actress awards.
Alan's plays have enjoyed over 700 performances, mainly in the UK, including six Edinburgh Festival Fringe Productions, but also in Ireland, Holland, France, Spain, Canada, USA, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Malta, Gibraltar and South Africa.

He has also collaborated with another writer and close friend, Alistair Ferguson, on many Pantomime scripts. For details, please contact AA Pantos.
