I first met Nichola in 2011 when she was part of a development workshop I ran for a play I was writing. She had recently moved back to Ireland after 10 years in London where she had a successful career as an actress. Returning home had meant starting again, and developing her career all over again.

Since 2011, I have kept an eye on Nichola’s career, from afar, and through her perseverance she has created another successful acting career here in Ireland.

She is hardworking, positive and a joy to work with and talk to.

She is also a skilled craft person,and knits handmade Shrawls...make sure you check them out, they make beautiful gifts.

I hope you enjoy this chat.
