Rave reviews: Nicole couldn't hide her smile after another hit performance of the drama, which is currently previewing ahead of its official opening next week

Nicole received a standing ovation on the play's opening night on Saturday. The actress is portraying British scientist Rosalind Franklin in the Anna Ziegler show, which is currently previewing ahead of its official opening on September 14.

Following the well-received first showing, many audience members took to Twitter to gush about Nicole's stunning performance..

One user tweeted: 'Brilliant performance by Nicole Kidman on her opening night on stage at the Noel Coward Theatre. #Photograph51', while another wrote: 'As a PhD student in chemistry and crystallography at Oxford, #Photograph51 was a phenomenal! @NicoleKidman was superb! #Inspired'.

Photograph 51 is the name given to an x-ray image taken by a researcher at King's College London, which revealed the double-helix shape of DNA.

It was a crucial starting point for research by Francis Crick and James Watson, who identified how DNA was structured.

Seemingly a role close to her heart, Nicole revealed to Dailymail.com earlier this year that she had discussed the role with her dad Dr Antony, who was a biochemist, before he died, saying: 'When I told him I was thinking about doing it, he was very excited.

'Then my dad passed away last September. I went: "All right, I need to do this for my father."'

Nicole, who wowed West End audiences back in 1998 with her performance in David Hare's The Blue Room, added there were other factors which attracted her to the role when she saw the script for the first time last year:

‘It's written by a woman, and it’s about a woman that a lot of women don’t know about,' she explained.

'And I need to do it because I've got to get back on stage, into that uncomfortable place of going, "I'm terrified!"'
