Zakiyyah Deen
Actor Writer Voice Over Artist Theatre MakerShe/Her
Zakiyyah is an actor, writer and voice over artist based in London. Those hyphenates amongst a few others contributes to the easier umbrella term 'Theatre Maker'.
She is interested in performing, writing and supporting compelling, truthful and imaginative stories that as she says will have you laughing one sec and saying 'rah'. Always questioning who we are, why we are and what we are.
She is one of Theatre Deli's 2022 - Residency artists. And is developing her own bodies of work constantly.
