Alan Brown is a retired secondary school teacher. He taught English for 34 years. Yikes! He is inevitably marked down as a bookish kind of fellow who employs long sentences. He has lived in Edinburgh since 1993 and has seen a lot of plays. He's getting used to terms like 'Improv' and 'Verbatim' but still likes his drama serious and pretty poetic. Dark and brooding Scottish theatre really appeals to him.
