    Danielle Kassarate

    May 23, 2022 by

    Danielle trained at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama on the Drama, Applied Theatre and Education Course.

    Danielle is one of the co-founders of Mawa Theatre Company, the UK’s first all Black all Female Shakespeare Company, and works part time as an Associate Director (Talent Development) with Queens Theatre Hornchurch Essex. In 2020 Danielle curated and hosted discussions with Queens Theatre Hornchurch & Mercury Theatre Colchester titled ‘Black Essex and Here’ which inspired her to write her first full length play. With Metal’s funding and support Danielle will use the resources to help her write workshop and finish the first draft of her play. It is a nostalgic coming of age story centred around young black girls finding their place in the world, set in her hometown of Essex.
