Nina Raine is a theatre director and playwright. During her residency she produced a written overview of the Jerwood Visual Arts programme.
After graduating from Oxford, Nina Raine began her career as a trainee director at the Royal Court Theatre.

Her debut play, RABBIT, which she also directed, premiered at the Old Red Lion Theatre in 2006 and after a sell out run transferred to the Trafalgar Studios in the West End before being produced as part of the Brits off Broadway festival in New York.
