About Adrian Tayler

After a 40 year career as a scriptwriter and video producer, I am now heavily involved with the Lancaster Grand (Britain's third oldest theatre), where I volunteer backstage and also give theatre tours. Another interest is in thwarting scammers and I have been trained as a Scams Champion by National Trading Standards.
