Chadwick
screenwriter & playwright
Kefi is an award winning screenwriter and playwright.
Kefi’s first offering as a writer came when she was still at school where she wrote a ‘novel’ about a space dog, which was chosen for a gifted children’s writing programme. She went on to be shortlisted for the WHSmith Young Writers’ Award several times and her poems were published in an anthology. Her first professional play, Mathematics of the Heart, was presented at Theatre 503 and since then she has worked with the Royal Court, Paines Plough, The Arcola and Nottingham Playhouse amongst others.
Her film work includes an adaptation of her critically acclaimed play Any Means Necessary for Wellington Films and various shorts including Girlpower, which won Best Comedy Short at Aesthetica Film Festival 2014 and SexLife, which was screened at Tribeca in the USA and Encounters in the UK. She is currently developing original feature The Isles with director Georgia Oakley and producer Wendy Griffin, and writing friendship comedy Girlfriends for Kaleidoscope Films.
For TV, her work spans drama and comedy. She has a number of original and adaptation projects in development, including Good People with Sister Pictures, and her episodic work includes Death In Paradise.
Kefi was the winner of Creative England's 2016 Writer's Award on the iWrite scheme, and is part of the 2018/18 EIFF Ideas Lab.

Kefi Chadwick brings a vivid picture of the mutual destructiveness of fraudulent affairs, but also an awareness that collective action can lead to public change.

The Guardian on Any Means Necessary
A major achievement for the Nottingham Playhouse... It painstakingly captures the insidiousness of a lie that sullies everything it touches, and destroys the ability to trust.
