joelmason

I live in Dalgety Bay, Fife (just outside of Edinburgh) with my wife and four year old son Jacob, who features in the Mary of the High Seas video. Though I was born in Orangeburg, South Carolina I lived up and down the US east coast working mostly as an actor (and often student). I did my under grad with a combination of classes from the U of South Carolina and the U of Rhode Island and went to grad school at Towson in Baltimore (a great city). I came to Edinburgh in 2003 as a performer with Squonk Opera, met my wife while dancing Argentine tango and moved to Scotland permanently in 2004 where I have had some success as a playwright and director.

I’m also the founding Chairman of the Edinburgh Younger Parkinson’s Group.
