Dràmaire │ Dramatist

​

Marcas is an award-winning Gaelic Playwright with two full-length plays in development and ripe for collaboration with theatre companies and insitutions.

 

He has twice won the 'Stornoway Gazette Trophy' for new Gaelic Drama at the Royal National Mòd.

​

Turadh follows Eamon as he confronts his demons at a series of meetings in Inverness.

The play was written with the support of Comhairle nan Leabhraichean and Playwrights' Studio Scotland, when Marcas was named 'New Gaelic Playwright of the Year' in 2016.

​

Written in 'la ronde' form, Tilleadh follows the trajectory of a soldier's memento, from Ness, on the north coast of Lewis, to the front and the grave, and from 1914 to the present day.

​

Both scripts won the 'Stornoway Gazette Trophy' for new Gaelic Drama at the Royal National Mòd.
