Femi Oguns

Who is Femi Oguns?

Femi Oguns, sometimes credited as Femi Ogunsanwo, is a playwright, theatre producer and founder of Identity Theatre School and Identity Drama School.

As a playwright, his first play Torn has previewed at the Arcola Theatre in Dalston, London. A Romeo and Juliet-style story centred around the Nigerian and Jamaican communities in London, Torn received mixed reviews: The Stage described it as a "lively and relevant new play" but "clunky"; The Times as "street smart" but "a sprawling, chaotic piece of writing desperately in need of the attentions of a disciplined script editor".

As an actor, Femi has held roles in British TV shows Prime Suspect 6: The Last Witness, The Bill and EastEnders and at the Arcola theatre.
