Femi Oguns, sometimes credited as Femi Ogunsanwo, is a playwright, theatre producer and founder of Identity Theatre School; Britain's first black theatre school.

As a playwright, his first play "Torn" has previewed at the Arcola Theatre in Dalston, London. A Romeo and Juliet-style story centred around the Nigerian and Jamaican communities in London, "Torn" received mixed reviews: The Stage described it as a "lively and relevant new play" but "clunky" [http://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/review.php/17357/torn] ; The Times as "street smart" but "a sprawling, chaotic piece of writing desperately in need of the attentions of a disciplined script editor" [http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/stage/theatre/article2032389.ece] .

As an actor, Femi has held roles in British TV shows , The Bill and Eastenders and at the Arcola theatre.
