Nicole Latchana (she/her) is a playwright working with communities and on solo projects.

In 2024, she was selected for the Bush Theatre WestEnd, Sonia Friedman and Eleanor Lloyd productions Radical Love Commission to write a new play. She also received Arts Council DYCP funding to explore her ancestral history, Indian and Chinese indentured labourers in Guyana, through the lens of horror, inspiring new scripts she continues to develop.

Her script OCO-2, about the climate crisis, initially developed on the Royal Court Group gained her a place on C4screenwriting from 2815 applicants and was programmed & directed by Suba Das for Inventing the Future festival 2022.

She is commissioned by Fio Theatre to write LANDING BOLTS, a play about queer global majority skateboarders. Her play MILLIE’s MUM won the M6 Theatre’s Love in the Time of Corona competition.

In 2020, she was commissioned by 45North to write CHOKING HAZARD, a play that explores abuse in queer relationships. This project was developed with mentorship from Atri Banerjee and Bush Theatre.

Nicole has over a decade of experience working as a playwright in theatre and community settings, collaborating on various projects with The Dot Collective, London Bubble Theatre, and Southwark Council, with performances staged in venues like Longfield Hall.

Her work often seeks to subvert traditional genres and story structures, to offer authentic portrayals of marginalized experiences. She is fascinated with exploring how to dramatize the link between the political and personal.

Nicole is looking forward to being the writer on a practical guide on how to save the world when no one f***ing else is in Spring 2025.
