Andreas Andreou is a director and writer of theatre and film from Athens, Greece.

In 2010 he moved to London to study Classics at King’s College on a Schilizzi Foundation Scholarship. He continued with graduate studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, where he currently studies towards an MFA in Theatre Directing.

With his plays My Death Etc. and M.A.Z.I. he represented the National Theatre of Greece internationally under the aegis of the Union des Théâtres de l'Europe (UTE). Other directing credits include plays by Caryl Churchill, Tim Crouch, Pantelis Boukalas, Thanasis Petrou, and others. In 2022 he adapted for the screen and directed Dimitris Dimitriadis’s play D.D.D. into his first short film, By Heart.

Between 2016 and 2020 Andreas worked on several projects with Rimini Protokoll in major European institutions such as Haus der Kulturen der Welt, GRIPS Theater Berlin, Onassis Stegi, Staatsschauspiel Dresden, Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, Residenztheater München, and Schauspielhaus Zürich. In 2023 he worked with Robert Wilson on his production of Edward Albee’s Three Tall Women and Jarry/Miró’s UBU at the Municipal Theatre of Piraeus and The Watermill Center respectively. He was The Watermill Center Summer Program Assistant in that same year.

Andreas has attended masterclasses with directors Thomas Ostermeier, Ian Rickson, Lyndsey Turner, Vassilis Papavassiliou, and others. As a performer, he is trained in the method of Attis Theatre founder Theodoros Terzopoulos.

As a Mediterranean, Balkan, and Southeastern European creature, Andreas loves history, language, and tradition. In his work, he constantly negotiates the individual’s origins and place in the world by exploring the boundaries of the real.
