Ron Nicol - playwright: "We have reviewed several plays by Ron Nicol and over the years this journal has been consistent in its adulatory reviews of his diverse range of plays and subjects..." (Amateur Stage - July 2004) "Ron Nicol is not only one of our most prolific playwrights, but a highly respected one, who is a fine wordsmith." (Amateur Stage - May 2007) "We performed your wonderful play ('The Spiriting of Burd Ellen') at the 2005 Plockton Drama Festival and ... managed to win the Junior Section of the Highland Division. It was really good to find something in which we could cast the whole of our P6/7 and which allowed our strong players to perform. The humour, balance and pace really allowed us to show what they could do. Thanks." (Auchtertyre Primary School 2005) "We are thrilled to say that The Young Oxted Players swept the board at last night's Southern Counties Drama Festival and won Best Young Actor, Best Young Actress, Best Stage Presentation, Best Junior Entry and Runner Up for the whole Festival! 5 awards for one play ('The Edge') appears to be an all time record at the festival. Our thanks to you for such a wonderful piece of theatre that had the audience totally gripped." (The Young Oxted Players 2008) Ron Nicol - drama adjudicator: "What also made the (Shetland County) festival a pleasure was listening to the public adjudications of Mr Nicol. He was fair, even-handed and any criticisms were kindly delivered and balanced with constructive and positive advice to the groups and individuals concerned." (The Shetland Times March 2005) "We learned a lot from the adjudicator, Ron Nicol, who was approachable, knowledgeable and obviously very used to dealing with young people." (Splinters Youth Theatre at the Aberdeen District Festival 2002) updated August 2008 |
