Keith Saha

  • 20sh-logo.png
Keith Saha is a British Asian writer working across television, theatre and film.

His first TV spec script was picked up for development following a Sky table read. He later joined the writers’ room for a project developed by Jude Law’s production company Riff Raff and has since developed several projects for television ranging from gritty drama to children’s animation.

Keith spent nearly twenty years as Co-Founder and Artistic Director of the award-winning Liverpool theatre company 20 Stories High before stepping down to focus on writing and developing new work for television and screen. He now works independently through Keith Saha Studios, creating new narrative projects across television, film and interdisciplinary performance.
 
His writing often draws on his lived experience of being British Asian and care experienced, exploring identity, belonging and resilience in working class communities. His work frequently blends forms including rap, spoken word and verbatim storytelling, and he has been a pioneer of Hip Hop theatre incorporating puppetry and mask.

His plays include GHOST BOY, THE BROKE 'N' BEAT COLLECTIVE, SHE'S LEAVING HOME, and MELODY LOSES HER MOJO. In 2010 GHOST BOY won the Brian Way Award for the UK’s Best New Play for Young People and THE BROKE 'N' BEAT COLLECTIVE won the Young Critics’ Award at On the Edge Festival in 2016.

In 2021 Keith was named in The Stage 100 and won the Achates Prize for KNOCKING ON, his doorstep theatre show created during lockdown. His digital work TOUCHY won an Offie and OnCom Award and HIGH TIMES AND DIRTY MONSTERS, a co production with Graeae, won two Offie Awards in 2023 for access and touring.
