Hannah Ali Khan is an Oxford-born, Bristol-based writer for stage and screen with a love for the extraordinary stories of ordinary people. Her writing is personal, vibrant and accessible, blending drama with humour to create bold yet familiar characters rooted in today’s Britain. She is particularly interested in writing for and about young adults, British Asians, and women, reflecting the worlds around her and sharing intersectional experiences rarely seen onstage.

Hannah studied MA Drama Writing at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in 2022/23, and has taken part in several schemes including North Wall Catalyst (2022), Kali Theatre Discovery (2023/24), Channel 4 New Writing Scheme (2024/25), and Exeter Northcott Elevate (2025). She has been commissioned by Theatre West as part of Coralations (2025) and has written several plays including her one-woman play Cancer B*tch! which received Arts Council England funding for an R&D and work-in-progress performance in 2024 at Offbeat Festival in Oxford, where she was also selected as one of their Supported Artists.

Despite now living in Bristol, Hannah has remained closely connected to Oxford and is excited to be taking part in Oxford Playhouse Playmakers this year.
