Nabil Shaban (born 12 February 1953〔(Shaban, Nabil. ) screenonline.org.uk Retrieved 1 August 2011.〕) is a Jordanian-British actor and writer. He founded The Graeae—a theatre group which promotes performers with disabilities. He has a son named Zenyel. Shaban was born in Amman, Jordan. He studied at the University of Surrey in the late 1970s and contributed to the Students' Union newspaper "Bare Facts". In 1997, Shaban was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by University of Surrey, for services in the promotion of Disability Arts. One of his most memorable television roles was that of the hideous reptilian alien Sil in the BBC science fiction television series ''Doctor Who''. Shaban played Sil in two serials: ''Vengeance on Varos'' (1985) and ''Mindwarp'' (1986). Shaban is particularly well known among ''Doctor Who'' fans for Sil's laugh, which he created. He has returned to the role in Big Finish, ''Mission to Magnus'' (2009) and ''Antidote to Oblivion'' (2013), both again written by Philip Martin. He has appeared in several films, including ''Born of Fire'' (1983), ''City of Joy'' (1992), Derek Jarman's ''Wittgenstein'' (1993), ''Gaias børn'' (1998), and ''Children of Men'' (2006), and has also worked as part of the Crass Collective. In 2011, he played the Roman emperor Constantius II at the National Theatre in Ibsen's ''Emperor and Galilean''. In 2003 he made a TV documentary titled ''The Strangest Viking'' (part of Channel 4's ''Secret History'' series), in which Shaban explored the possibility that Viking chieftain Ivar the Boneless may have had osteogenesis imperfecta, the same condition he himself has. Shaban has also published a trilogy of Ivar the Boneless screenplays on Kindle, representing the Viking chieftain as a disabled Danish prince with brittle bones and unable to walk. Shaban was nominated Best Actor in Scottish theatre in 2005, by the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland (CATS), for his role as Mack the Knife in Bertolt Brecht's ''Threepenny Opera'', a Theatre Workshop (Edinburgh) production. Shaban lost out to rival nominee David Tennant, who was about to become the new Doctor Who. Shaban's play ''The First To Go'' premièred in May 2008, produced by Edinburgh's Benchtours Theatre Company in association with Sirius Pictures. It opened at the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh on May 23 and toured to the Tron Theatre, Glasgow; the Byre Theatre, St Andrews and Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield. ==Career== ===Theatre=== Started Graeae Theatre Company of disabled people in 1980, Tom, romantic lead in "Crutch" a love story 1981 + 1983, Jesus in "Godspell" 1986, Haillie Selassie in "The Emperor" Royal Court 1987, "Hamlet" playing Hamlet 1988, "Downfall" 1988 Royal Court, Ayatollah Khomeini in "Iranian Nights" Royal Court 1989, "Nativity" 1990 Tricycle Theatre, "Boundary" 1991 IOU Theatre, Bradford, Volpone in "Flesh Fly" 1996 Graeae Theatre, "Nettles and Roses" 1996 Theatre Workshop, Edinburgh, Argos in "D.A.R.E." 1997, 1999, 2000 (Finland), 2004 Theatre Workshop, Edinburgh, Royal National Theatre "Haroun and the Sea of Stories" 1998 - played Rashid, the father of Haroun, Played human rights lawyer in Northern Ireland theatre drama "Portadown Blues" in Theatre Workshop, Edinburgh 2000, Wrote and performed one person theatre play "I am the Walrus" at Theatre Workshop, Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2001, Patrick in "Knocknashee" 2002 Dublin, Adham, Palestinian refugee in "Jasmine Road" 2003 Theatre Workshop, Edinburgh, Mack the Knife in "Threepenny Opera" 2004 Theatre Workshop, Edinburgh, Moneer in “One Hour Before Sun Rise” 2005 Theatre Workshop, Edinburgh, Hamm in Beckett’s “Endgame”, 2007/8 Theatre Workshop, Edinburgh, Siegfried in his own play “The First To Go”, 2008 Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, Marquis de Sade in “Marat/Sade”, 2008 Theatre Workshop, Edinburgh, Emperor Constantius II in "Emperor and Galilean", 2011 Royal National Theatre, London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nabil Shaban」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
