Anastasia Osei-Kuffour

I began my career in the arts in 2012, training as a theatre director through the Young Vic Directors Programme. I went on to train on the National Theatre's Director's course in 2017 and as an artistic director on the tiata fahodzi led Artistic Director Leadership Programme. I was Associate Director at Theatre 503 (Aug 2019 to May 2021) and went on to work alongside Stephen Williams on the Searchlight feature film 'Chevalier' which has it's UK release in June 2023.  I am also Artistic Director of Wrested Veil, a production company that unveils stories that explore truth and the human story behind real world issues, in order to spark change.

​

I primarily work as a freelance director and writer and I'm always on the look out for exciting theatre and screenplays to direct and new collaborations with writers, producers, production companies and buildings.

​

I love stories and their power to move and touch people. I believe they can be a catalyst for change. It's my life's passion to tell stories in the most dynamic and thrilling way. This means that sometimes I tell them through the powerful plays and films that I direct and write or through the poetry/spoken word I write and perform. I particularly enjoy working with actors and a creative team to bring words on a page to life. Those collaborations allow me to create living, breathing, affecting shows. It is like magic.  Working across Film, TV, Theatre and Radio I am beyond excited at the different ways I can bring stories to the world.
