helloI am a theatre director and playwright from Glasgow. I most frequently work on new plays, sharing brand new stories celebrating music, sex and cities with audiences.
Recent work includes directing the Scottish premiere of Abi Morgan’s The Mistress Contract as Resident Artist at the Tron, Glasgow, and adapting Belle & Sebastian album, If You’re Feeling Sinister for Avalon and BBC Arts. As an Associate and Assistant Director, I’ve worked with Stewart Laing (THEM!) with the National Theatre of Scotland; John Crowley (Local Hero), Wils Wilson and Janice Parker (The Hour We Knew Nothing Of Each Other), David Greig (Glory on Earth) at the Lyceum, Edinburgh; Orla O'Loughlin (What Girls Are Made Of )at the Traverse/Raw Material; Andy Arnold (Cock) at The Tron, Glasgow. I run a social play reading group, and co-edit a fanzine of new Scottish playwriting with Laurie Motherwell. Eve x

★★★★ The Herald on The Mistress Contract
|
"what this fine production achieves is to suggest a different approach to male-female relationships"
★★★★ The Scotsman on The Mistress Contract |
|
"This year's Fringe surely bares few more evocative reflections of life as a British twenty something in 2018."
★★★★ The Scotsman on One Life Stand |
"The whole show is absorbed with colour, in a city of loneliness where everyone is terrified of the dark.”
★★★★ A Younger Theatre on One Life Stand |
|
"decidedly polished and places its up-and-coming director as a unique voice in Scottish theatre"
★★★★ TV Bomb on GLITTERED/GUTTERED |
"There’s a deep artistry here and a searing vividness of imagination that leaves audiences shocked and subtly changed."
★★★★ The Scotsman on The Pitchfork Disney |
|
“The skill of Eve Nicol’s production is in harnessing her cast’s fine performances of them into one flowing coherent whole”
★★★★ The Herald on The Pitchfork Disney |
“For a production that inhabits the darkest, bleakest recesses of human nature, it somehow makes you feel relentlessly, violently alive.”
★★★★ Exeunt on The Pitchfork Disney |
