Ishbel Nicol

Welcome to my homepage! I am a Scottish actress, from the Highlands, currently living in London. I recently appeared in 'Secrets' at the Cock Tavern, London. Reviews include: 'the strongest storyline, concerning a playground bully-turned-teacher whose former victim joins the staff of her current school, allows Ishbel Nicol room for some mature characterisation.' (What's on Stage?) 'Ishbel Nicol is fantastic when it comes to bringing out the real within the surreal. She once again demonstrates how a mere scene is enough to imprint oneself on the minds of the audience forever.' (Extra! Extra!) 'Additionally, as a teacher who confronts her own past as a schoolyard bully, Ishbel Nicol is believable and sympathetic, particularly in flashback sequences.' (Fringe Review) I am also working with my own theatre company, ReSister, and playwright Dave Cryer on a new play for production next year. ReSister visited the Henley Fringe this year with our latest show 'A Picture of Alchemy'. I was fortunate enough to be awarded the Gold Standard award for performance for 2009.
