Nichola McAuliffe

About:

Nichola McAuliffe has covered most roles in her hugely respected acting career, from her influential work with the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and The Royal National Theatre to her British television hit Surgical Spirit (1989 – 1995) and her recent appearances on the long running soap opera Coronation Street.

In 1982 Arnold Wesker wrote his series of one woman plays Annie Wobbler expressly for McAuliffe, but not content with conquering the classical theatre (and popular television), she has also won several awards for her roles in West End musicals, including Kiss Me Kate, for which she won the 1988 Laurence Olivier Award, and most recently Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, for which she was nominated for a further Olivier in 2003.

She has published two books with Bloomsbury, The Crime Tsar and the children’s story Atila, Loolagax and the Eagle, and is married to the journalist Don McKay.
