  Peter Nichols - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Nichols (born 31 July 1927) is an English writer of stage plays, film and television.
Born in Bristol, England, he was educated at Bristol Grammar School, and then did his National Service in the RAF for three years, going on to study acting at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.
Joe Egg is based on Nichols' own experiences of raising a handicapped child.

 Roundabout Theatre Company - Front & Center Online
Nichols never seemed to fit neatly into such trends, although Bri, the main character in Joe Egg is clearly a frustrated, even angry, husband to an eternally loving wife and mother, Sheila.
Nichols’ singularity partly derives from his insistence that the personal have primacy over the political, and that comedy and tragedy should learn to snuggle up together.
Joe Egg was inspired by Nichols’ own experience raising a severely brain-damaged daughter (she died a few years after the original production), but the play instead chooses to focus on Sheila and Bri’s marriage as they care for “Joe,” their ten-year-old girl—a “living parsnip,” as her father affectionately calls her.

 Nigel Hawthorne : Theatre : Privates On Parade, Piccadilly reviews
And out of this raw-life material Peter Nichols has created a play which is at once a military musical, a camp entertainment, a pastiche a period melodrama and a sharp if muted attack upon Britain's political posture east of Suez.
PRIVATES ON PARADE by Peter Nichols won the Evening Standard's award as the best comedy of 1977; and how right we were: Last night, at the Piccadilly, where it has come from the Aldwych, the cascades of audience laughter amply confirmed the judgment of the panel.
Nichol's vivid characterisation of the members of the Combined Services Entertainment Unit whose adventures we follow: for his trenchant remarks on the politics of the British in Malaya in 1948: and for his nimble talent of comedy and lyric-writing.

 Evolution's Captain by Peter Nichols   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Now Peter Nichols, author of several best-selling non-fiction books about sea exploration, has answered that question and more in Evolution's Captain, which chronicles the career of Robert Fitzroy and his place in scientific history.
Peter Nichols has lovingly researched the published writings and private correspondence of Fitzroy and those associated with him to create a compelling narrative of this man's troubled (yet largely productive) life.
Once in a while, Nichols loses the narrative by exploring some historical sidetracks (like his overview of an odd "post office" drop used for centuries by mariners visiting the Galapagos, or indulging in several pages' worth of analysis of the rise of the steam locomotive).

In 1968 nine men set out to be the first to sail single-handed non-stop round the world in what was dubbed the Golden Globe race (Francis Chichester had been round on his own, but took a half-time break in Australia).
Peter Nichols hadn't taken much interest in the Golden Globe race when it happened; he was a schoolboy at the time.
But when he later found he had saltwater in his blood, he became obsessed by the story of those nine men and the silly risks they took, risks that don't seem to be taken any more, and he was inspired to set off alone across the Atlantic in a little wooden boat.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Peter Nichols
If Nichols lost his zeal for playwriting in the mid 1980s, the announcement of his retirement from the theatre proved premature, and recent years have seen new works and acclaimed revivals performed in New York and London.
Considered one of the more autobiographical of playwrights, Peter Nichols was born in 1927 in Bristol, a city whose landmarks, people, and accent inhabit much of his work.
While the content of this play derived from Nichol’s experience bringing up a severely disabled daughter, the consolidation during its composition of his own distinctive theatrical voice – one based around recognition, even an enthusiastic embracing, of the audience – was to shape much of his career in the theatre.

 A Voyage for Madmen by Peter Nichols, 1861972369, Lowest Book Price Finder
Rich with excitement, accomplished, gripping and authoritative, A Voyage for Madmen is the story of the yachting tournament from hell written by a man who is himself a gifted sailor as well as writer.
Using polished, craftsman-like, clear and sometimes moving prose, Nichols describes how the nine fought through storms and collisions, through the roaring 40s and the furious 50s, and how each man experienced those moments of solitary despair, lonely disappointment and occasional mystical elation that are unique to long-haul solo sailing.
One of the most commendable features of the book is the way Nichols discusses the technical side of yachtsmanship with verve and passion without ever turning into an anorak.
