Andreas Andreou is a US-based theatre and film director and writer from Athens,
Greece. His work explores the extremities of reality through explosive, sardonic, and
political explorations of our humanity.

Andreas graduated from King’s College London, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art,
and the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, where he was awarded the Julian Milton
Kaufman Memorial Prize for Directing. His directing work, showcased in several
countries, includes the English-language premieres of Utopia by Mikhail Durnenkov
and Apologiae 4 & 5 by Academy Award Nominee Efthimis Filippou; the Romanian
premiere of Far Away by Caryl Churchill, and the Greek-language premiere of An Oak
Tree by Tim Crouch. In 2022, Andreas wrote and directed his first short film, By Heart,
adapted from the stage play D.D.D. by Dimitris Dimitriadis. While at Yale, he also
directed Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Coriolanus, Caryl Churchill’s Lovesick, and new
works by Emily Breeze, Matthew Chong, and Andrew Rincón. His own plays, My Death
Etc. and M.A.Z.I., have represented the National Theatre of Greece internationally
under the auspices of the Union des Théâtres de l'Europe (UTE).

Between 2017 and 2020, Andreas worked on several projects with the German theatre
group Rimini Protokoll at major European institutions, including Haus der Kulturen der
Welt, GRIPS-Theatre Berlin, Onassis Stegi, Staatsschauspiel Dresden, Düsseldorfer
Schauspielhaus, Residenztheater München, and Schauspielhaus Zürich. In 2023, he
collaborated with Robert Wilson on his productions of Edward Albee’s Three Tall
Women and Jarry/Miró’s UBU at the Municipal Theatre of Piraeus and The Watermill
Center, respectively. He also served as The Watermill Center Summer Program
Assistant that same year.

In and out of school, Andreas has attended directing seminars with Dima Krymov,
Thomas Ostermeier, Vassilis Papavassiliou, Ian Rickson, Lyndsey Turner, et.al. He has
also trained under Theodoros Terzopoulos and Savvas Stroumpos in the internationally
recognized, intensely physical method of the Attis Theatre.
