So jealous of all the fans who were able to see Nicola Walker in a play – any play, really. It’s basically a dream now. lol. To go to the UK and see her onstage. It’s probably a bit early but I was wondering: if Nicola were to be nominated for an Olivier for AVFtB, would it be for a supporting role or a lead role? I’m not familiar with the play, see, and I wanted to know, because if Beatrice was a lead role, then she would be up against some major names like Juliet Stevenson and Gillian Anderson. Either way, we’ll be supporting her all the way, right ladies? 🙂
*PS: This site is amazing! I’ve been “lurking” for a while now, but my Nicola Walker-withdrawal is so intense I had to talk Nicola to fellow fans. 🙂 Thank goodness for this site! 🙂
You now have the answer : the Olivier Awards nominations were announced on 9 March 2015. Nicola didn’t score a nomination, in either the lead or supporting categories. 🙁 On the other hand, the play did score 7 nominations in total, so congratulations to cast and crew. Details are listed in both entries for this play on this website.
I went to see the play yesterday and I would like to say how jaw dropping it was. All of the cast were intense and totally absorbing. It’s not often I’m able to sit through a play done in one act and not get fidgety and uncomfortable. Full credit must be given to the creative team who produced such a fine play. Nicola was of course outstanding as per usual and to be honest, I’m yet to see a play that Nicola has been in that has been anything less than outstanding. I look forward to her next play…
My only regret is that when I saw her in the bar afterwards, I didn’t pluck up any courage to congratulate Nicola on her performance. Gutted.
You should have told Nicola how brilliant she was in the play! She doesn’t bite, you know. If you’re a regular visitor to this website and have read the various Close Encounters reports, you should know that Nicola ALWAYS has time for her fans 😀 Glad you liked the play.
Thank you so very much to your wonderful site, for the early announcement of this play. Because of it I got a nice ticket and time off to cross the seas to see it and it was absolutely the most brilliant, powerful production….a real privilege to see. Thank you!
I’m going!!! Thank you for the heads up! I missed her in curious and I’ll be darned if I will miss her again! Front row seats! *swoon* 🙂
