Hannah Hauer-King

Director

My name is Hannah - I identify as a queer/gay woman. I am a London based theatre director, and co-founder of an all women's theatre company, Damsel Productions. After moving from the US, where I got a theatre and theology degree, I started my London career as Resident Assistant Director at Soho Theatre in 2014. I now work as a freelance theatre director, and have directed at venues including Southwark Playhouse, Soho Theatre, Traverse Theatre, Manchester Home, and with companies including ETT, National Youth Theatre and Papatango.
