helloI tell stories. Sometimes as a playwright. Sometimes as a theatre director.
My work is lead by new and contemporary text and usually involves a rock/pop musical element. I am drawn to stories of obsession, sexuality and glamour. I enjoy trying to better understand human nature by looking at how non-human animals work. I create productions as Heroes Theatre from my base at Glasgow Theatre Arts Collective in Govan. I have made theatre that has been performed in fields, festivals, pools, pubs and stages across Scotland. Recent work includes a table top production of Simon Stephens' Sea Wall which toured Glasgow and London pubs, a live illustrated story book tackling anxiety (Hero) and a punk theatre poem celebrating teen grrl friendships and fish (GUTTERED). As an Assistant Director, I’ve worked with Wils Wilson and Janice Parker (The Hour We Knew Nothing Of Each Other), and David Greig at The Lyceum, Edinburgh (Glory on Earth), and Andy Arnold at The Tron, Glasgow (Cock). Recent support for new performance projects includes MGC Futures, National Theatre of Scotland and the Tom McGrath Trust. 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

"This year's Fringe surely bares few more evocative reflections of life as a British twenty something in 2018 than playwright Eve Nicol's One Life Stand."
★★★★ The Scotsman 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 |
