Sarah Chasseaud

Sarah is a London-born writer, based in Sussex, whose work offers prestige drama with a wink, often blending historical settings with modern sensibilities to arrive at something unexpected. Like her ensemble comedy drama, Stumped, for which she was selected for this year’s Collective, exploring the impacts of class, community and colonialism against a backdrop of 90s women’s cricket. Yes, cricket.

Particularly drawn to power dynamics and status anxiety, it’s the honest humanity at the heart of every story that she’s been seeking since completing her studies with the National Film & Television School in 2025.
