About the show

Macbeth, a Scottish general, receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred into action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. Wracked with guilt and paranoia, he is forced to commit more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, becoming a tyrannical ruler and provoking a consequent civil war. 

Nico is co-founder of Monkhead Film & Theatre.

For stage, he has directed full-length plays at the Tobacco Factory, Seven Dials Playhouse, Arcola Theatre, King’s Head Theatre, Bunker Theatre, Underbelly and Theatre N16, receiving critical acclaim. He directed shorter pieces at the Young Vic (Freshworks), La Maison Libre (Paris, France) and Voice4Thought International Festival (Dakar, Senegal).

Nico's recent production of Diary of A Somebody received 5 stars in The Guardian and was a total sell out for its six week run at the Seven Dials Playhouse in the West End. He's also directed final year productions at LAMDA, Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and East 15.

For screen, Nico's shorts The Start of Nothing and They Just Use the Sky have screened at BAFTA-qualifying festivals and won awards in the UK and abroad. His feature film Love and Other Phenomena won Industrial Scripts’ Titan Awards for Best Pitch, and is in development with the BFI. 

He is currently a BAFTA Connect member and a mentee on the Directors UK Inspire programme. Nico also works as an actor, represented by 33 Management, with credits in high-profile Hollywood, UK and European TV & Feature productions, as well as Theatres across the UK. 

William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
