S10 Ep2: Jack Nicholls talks to Ishy Din

Jack Nicholls is a writer and poet. As a playwright, he has twice been a member of the Royal Court Writers’ Group, with readings of his work staged at the Royal Court and Northern Stage, and one play longlisted for the Bruntwood Prize. After graduating from the BFI Script Lab, he wrote and directed the BFI Network short, “Nettle Day,” a primary school-set folk horror, which premieres soon at the BAFTA and BIFA-qualifying Manchester Film Festival. He was twice one of the winners of the National Poetry Competition, and his poems have been published in Poetry Review, PN Review, The New Statesman, The Rialto, and in The Telegraph as a Poem of the Week, among other magazines. He comes from Cornwall and lives in Manchester, where he works as a tutor and runs the cult comedy night, “Title Fight.” His debut play, The Shitheads is playing in the Royal Court's Theatre Upstairs from 6 Feb - 14 Mar, as part of the 70th Anniversary Season.
