The arts community mourns the loss of Zee Asha, a London-born singer and actress whose warmth touched both stage and classroom. News of her passing has brought an outpouring of fond remembrance from colleagues and students alike.
To television audiences, Zee Asha was perhaps best recognised for her spirited turn as the angry chef, Audrey, in two episodes of the beloved BBC series *Merlin* (‘The Darkest Hour: Part One’ and ‘A Servant of Two Masters’). Her performance captured the character’s fiery essence with memorable clarity.
Yet for many, her most impactful role was away from the screen. Zee was a much-loved member of the Sharpe team, where she taught part-time students at the Sharpe Academy of Theatre Arts. Colleagues recall an educator who brought unwavering enthusiasm and genuine care to her classes, fostering a creative and supportive environment. She nurtured budding talent with a generosity of spirit that will be profoundly missed.
“She brought enthusiasm and care to her classes, and many will remember her fondly,” a tribute from her teaching community reads. As news of her death circulates, heartfelt condolences are being extended to her family and friends during this difficult time. Zee Asha’s legacy lives on in the performances she gave and the countless students she inspired with her passion for the arts.
