Pippa Nixon

In 2007, Nixon was cast by director Maria Aberg for the Royal Shakespeare Company in Roy Williams’ Days of Significance which played at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon before moving to the Tricycle Theatre in London. The production was based on Much Ado About Nothing and was commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Following the success of Days of Significance, Nixon worked at Shakespeare's Globe in London, where she was commended in the prestigious Ian Charleson Awards for her portrayal of Jessica in The Merchant of Venice. A year later, in 2008, Nixon was cast in Jonathan Munby's Midsummer Night’s Dream, in which she played Hermia, and in the same year, she was also re-united with Roy Williams on his new play Joe Guy at the Soho Theatre.

In mid-2009, Nixon worked with Brooke Kinsella in S-27, and following that, in 2010, with her very moving performance as Bea in the Soho Theatre production of the same title. Bea was written for her by the passionate and innovative director and playwright Mick Gordon after seeing her performance in S-27 the year before.
