About
Producing fearless new writing by women about women.
Founded in 2019 by Charlotte Keith and Stephanie Greenwood, Very Rascals aims to produce new writing by intersectional feminist theatre professionals that spotlights social issues focused on communication.
Charlotte and Stephanie met in an acting class and quickly became friends after bonding over their mutual love for tea. In the summer of 2019, Stephanie took her one-woman show to the Edinburgh Fringe and was delighted but terrified when asked to transfer it to the Tristan Bates (now Seven Dials). Charlotte boldly stepped in to help with producing and - thus - Very Rascals was born.

Our Team
Stephanie Greenwood - Artistic Director
Stephanie is an actor, writer, and producer who currently lives in New York City but she tries to get back to London as often as she can. Stephanie was born in London but grew up in Cape Town and then Geneva. After graduating from Dartmouth College, she wrote a solo play It’s Beautiful, Over There and took it to the Edinburgh Fringe. Thanks to a wonderful friendship that started over a cup of tea, Charlotte came on board and Very Rascals was born. Since then, she has always trusted Charlotte first with everything from the first spark of a new idea to a full run of a new play.
Stephanie graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with an MFA in Acting (Classical and Contemporary Text) and if you’d like to find out more about her acting adventures, you can click here.
You will mainly find Steph writing something somewhere, whether that’s new plays, her substack, or (more recently) a little poetry like any good yearner and dreamer. When outside, she loves to be near mountains and lakes and when inside she loves to be found with a book and either tea or gin.

Charlotte Keith - Company Director
Charlotte is an actor, producer and writer who splits her time between London and Hull. Thanks to The National Youth Theatre she developed a love of creating plays and the confidence to say yes to starting a theatre company. Since then she has helped develop and produce new work at Very Rascals and Gutter Street Theatre Company, with a real passion for watching how the first few drafts of a play grow.
​
Most recently Charlotte graduated from RADA with a BA in Acting (if you'd like to find out more about Charlotte's acting career you can click here). ​
​When not creating you will find her in the air trying to climb colourful plastic walls or hanging upside down from a hoop. Her best party trick… she can lick her elbow.

Meghan de Chastelain - Associate Artist
Meghan is a Canadian-British artist who currently splits her time between the UK, Germany and Scotland. Originally from Ontario, she completed her BFA in Acting at the University of Windsor before working as an actor. With a desire to foster more respectful and exciting rehearsal rooms, she sought out further training and made the leap across the pond to complete her MFA in Directing Classical and Contemporary Text at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. It was here she met Steph and their mutual love for tea, good chats and thought-provoking theatre solidified their professional and personal friendship.
​
As a director, Meghan prizes collaboration and draws on her time as an actor and her work with children with exceptionalities to create spaces that are void of ego, collective and fun. While a lover of Shakespeare, she is particularly interested in new writing and has begun to incorporate more self-written work into her artistic practice.
​
If Meghan isn’t in the rehearsal room, she’s probably hiking in the Black Forest or tucked away in a big library or cozy tea shop reading. She makes a mean cupcake and is a certified cocktail-specialist (at least according to friends and family). Prost!
