abi falase

Abi Falase is a writer, director, and facilitator whose work creates transformative, escapist experiences for audiences seeking both authenticity and mysticism. Central to their creative practice is the idea of collective liberation through creative expression, a principle they bring to life in their work by blending feel-good social realism with satire.

As a director and writer, Abi has quickly built a notable body of work. They were the writer/director of The Endz (Southbank Centre, 2023), a musical that earned the Royal Philharmonic Society Impact Award, and authored the Doctor Who adventure novel Eden Rebellion (BBC Books/Penguin Random House, 2024). Recent directing and dramaturgy credits include Pretty Baby Child (National theatre Studio, 2025),  Sankofa (cocoa butter club, 2026) and a devised piece for The Yard & UCL Here East, the room where it happens. They were also shortlisted for the BBC Scriptworks Thousand Films Competition for their debut pilot Superzero

Abi’s expertise extends deeply into facilitation and youth programme design. As participation associate at the Almeida Theatre (2019-2023), they were the creative lead for the young artist programme, and has continued to design and deliver young artists programmes across London Theatres and Youth Organisations.
