AVIN SHAH

ACTOR & WRITER

MY STORY

I am a playwright, recently lead writer  for BBC Radio 4’s Drama series, Tommies, set during the First World War. 

​

I specialize in writing drama which champions the underdog and the forgotten voices that have fallen from the pages of history...

​

I was also an actor for 25 years - appearing in London's West End,  at the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, and in TV, film and video games.

​

My debut radio drama was long-listed for BBC Writers' Room Prize, and my debut stage play for the Bruntwood Prize.
