Chryssanthi Kouri

Director

I'm a director and writer working in both theatre and film. I hold a BA in Media with Cultural Studies from Southampton Solent and an MA in Performance from Mountview Academy. I specialise in new writing and I have directed over 15 short and long plays in and around London, as well as 5 short films which I also wrote and produced. I'm proficient in comedy and drama, as well as genre-bending theatre, I love working across cultures and I have a passion for character-driven stories that explore the human condition. In my writing, I like to put women and misfits at the centre of my stories.
