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 was born in London and spent her childhood in South Africa and then France, before going to the US to study theatre and politics at Dartmouth College. Upon graduation, she moved back to London - bringing her life full circle - and began the perilous, exciting, sometimes very dull and boring life of being an actor, writer, and eventually (because she is an older sibling and likes to be in charge) producer.
​
In 2018, she toured with Jonathan Lewis' production of Soldier On as ensemble and understudy, staying with the production during its West End transfer to The Other Palace. She also revisited her award-winning honours thesis It's Beautiful, Over There. After a workshop during the 2018 Camden Fringe, she took the production to the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The production then transferred to the Tristan Bates Theatre at the Actor's Centre at the start of 2020 - marking this company's inaugural production and the beginning of a wonderful partnership with Charlotte (see more HERE).
​
She has recently graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with an MFA in Acting Classical and Contemporary Text. Stephanie is now based between Boston and London.
​
Other performance credits Include: Take a Bath (Bacchae Productions), Trompe L'Oeil (Emergence Festival/Very Rascals), The Present Tense (Emergence Festival), Fill Fill Fill Fill Fill Fill Fill (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland); As You Like It (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland); Twelfth Night (Shakespeare’s Globe/Royal Conservatoire of Scotland); Revolt.

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.
