helloI am a theatre director and playwright from Glasgow.
I make new work led by text and music which explores obsession, sensuality and sexual relationships. I am the Artistic Director of Heroes Theatre, a contemporary writing company who have performed in fields, festivals, pools, pubs and stages across Scotland. Recent work includes the UK tour of my debut play, One Life Stand - exploring sex and intimacy in the digital age with the award-winning Middle Child, and developing The Drift a spoken word show by poet Hannah Lavery for National Theatre of Scotland and Tron Creative. As an Assistant Director, I’ve worked with John Crowley (Local Hero), Wils Wilson and Janice Parker (The Hour We Knew Nothing Of Each Other), and David Greig (Glory on Earth) at The Lyceum, Edinburgh, Orla O'Loughlin at the Traverse (What Girls Are Made Of), and Andy Arnold at The Tron, Glasgow (Cock). In 2019 I'll be working on new projects with The Lyceum and Old Vic, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Raw Material, Tron Theatre, Avalon and BBC Arts, Traverse, Slung Low and Unicorn, and the National Theatre of Scotland. If you'd like to be pals, I run a social play reading group, co-edit a fanzine of new Scottish playwriting and co-ordinate a peer review writing group. hmu. 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 |
