Ben Quashie is the tallest Director and award-winning Producer in the game, with eight years of experience across theatre, film, and audio. Of mixed-race White/Black Caribbean heritage, Ben brings a practical, inclusive, and joyful vision to every project, driven by a deep commitment to artist development, new writing, and expanding access for underrepresented voices.

 

He began his career by founding Nuu Theatre, a company focused on nurturing emerging artists aged 18–25. He has since held pivotal roles at major UK institutions, including the Royal Court (Participation Assistant), English Touring Theatre (Assistant Producer), and Brixton House, where he was the theatre’s inaugural Producer.


As a director, Ben has led work across professional and community theatre, short films, audio dramas, and comedy, with a focus on storytelling that centres joy, hope, and emotional complexity. He is passionate about elevating new voices and supporting artists, particularly those from working-class and Global Majority backgrounds, to take their next creative step.

 

He is a Trustee for Boundless Theatre, SCRUM Theatre, and Nuu Theatre. By the end of 2024, Ben’s work had contributed to over 68 productions, earning 39 award nominations and 8 wins across the Black British Theatre Awards, UK Theatre Awards, Stage Debut Awards, and Offies—including his own nomination for Best Producer at the BBTAs in 2023.
