Cassiah is an award-winning writer, selected for the prestigious BRIT List 2024. She recently finished a new draft of 'Catch a Butcher' (the feature) in development with the BFI, and is currently developing an original novel with Amazon Audible.

 

Her plays have been staged at the New Diorama Theatre, Greenwich Theatre, Katzpace, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2016, Cassiah's debut play 'Under My Thumb 'was a finalist in the Red Women Theatre Awards, and was nominated for Best New Play at the New South Writing Awards in 2017. In 2019, previews of Cassiah's play 'London With A Perfect Skyline'  premiered at Katzpace, London Bridge, and in 2023, 'London With A Perfect Skyline' made the top 20% in the Royal Court Theatre literary submissions. Also in 2023, Cassiah wrote 'MENTAL' as part of an R&D with Culture Clash Theatre, commissioned by Arts Council Funding. The project was supported by Greenwich Theatre, Cambridge Junction, Battersea Arts Centre, and Tara Arts.
