Verity's on-stage experience was - until the Hunstanton One-Act Drama Festival came along - strictly limited to a couple of school performances in her youth. However, during her career at Sky Broadcasting, she was involved with Sky's original scripting teams and worked with Sky's Director of Entertainment to encourage in-house writing talent which gave her valuable insight into world of Drama. Verity joined the committee in 2022 as Secretary & Publicity Officer, and was invited to adjudicate in 2023 and 2024 as well as being appointed as Deputy Festival Director in 2024. A keen theatre-goer, Verity also runs a Play-reading group for Hunstanton u3a where she gets to practice some dubious accents in the privacy of her own home. She is hugely honoured to be presenting this year's event as Festival Director.
