Ruth Nicholls

Generations of the female members of my family have enjoyed performing on the amateur stage in concert parties, drama and dance. Acting has been my chief interest since early childhood.

Over a number of years, for various institutions and also as

an after dinner speaker, I presented a solo programme of character roles: I particularly enjoy that of Oscar Wilde's Lady Bracknell.

I have been with Theatr Fach for eleven years and during that time I have played a variety of parts, my favourite being that of Madame Arcarti in Noel Coward's 'Blithe Spirit'.

'Ladies in Retirement was the first play I directed for the Society and the second will be J.B. Parties' comedy 'When We are Married' in May/June 2012.
