Nick began working in the theatre at a young age, working on projects with the Orpheus Centre and YMT:UK as an actor. Later he worked as a stage manager on several projects before becoming a casual stage technician for the National Theatre. Over the past few years Nick has been working on projects, both in theatre and film, as a writer and director.
Nick has a keen interest in history having studied for a BA in Archaeology. After completing this degree, he enhanced his skills by undertaking an MA in Experiment Archaeology. The skills he gained though this (and a short stint as a builder in Bulgaria) has allowed Nick to become a competent craftsman.
Critics Responses to Nick's written work:
“Imaginative and ambitious with plenty of dramatic potential... The dialogue is sharp and clever.” - BBC Writersroom
“The writer has an extraordinary ability of creating excellent dialogue for a number of characters... the dialogue for all of the characters is very good and demonstrates that the writer has invested serious time and effort into making this script as believable as possible.” - WILDSound Screenplay Festival, Canada
