Helena Kaut-Howson is a British theatre director.

Early life and education

Helena Kaut-Howson was born (as Helena Kaut) in 1940 in Lviv, a Polish city which was recently forcibly incorporated into Soviet Union.[1] She is a child Holocaust survivor. She grew up in Wrocław, Poland.[1] Her training as a director was first at the Polish State Theatre School and then at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.[2]

Career

Kaut-Howson originally worked as an actor in the 1950s, at the Jewish Theatre, Warsaw.[3] She had to leave Poland after marrying a British man who was the son of an admiral working for NATO, and came to the United Kingdom then.[1] She worked in the 1960s in direction at the Royal Court Theatre.[3] She has directed in Israel at the Jerusalem Community Theatre, the Habima Theatre and Cameri Theater.[3] Other work as director outside the UK includes at Monument-National in Canada and the Gate Theatre in Dublin.[3] She has also worked with Scena Polska UK at the Polish Social and Cultural Association in London.[4][5]

Kaut-Howson was artistic director of Theatr Clwyd in Wales between 1992 and 1995.[3][6] The Board decided not to renew her contract, despite the financial and critical success Clwyd had under her leadership.[7]

There was disagreement between Kaut-Howson and the theatre management about her production of The Miser at the Royal Exchange, Manchester in 2009.[8]

Kaut-Howson has taught at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.[3]

Some of the plays she has directed are her own adaptations.[3] This includes Faithful Ruslan, which she adapted from the book by Georgi Vladimov.[9][10]

Themes

Although Kaut-Howson does not call herself a feminist, her productions are often identified as feminist.[2][11][12] In her production of King Lear at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, later transferring to the Young Vic, the part of King Lear was played by a woman, Kathryn Hunter, a decision which was called "controversial".[2][11][13][14]

Kaut-Howson values working with actors from the theatre company Complicité.[2] She believes that theatre is about a company performing, rather than individual actors.[2]

Kaut-Howson was instrumental in bringing the work of Bruno Schulz to the stage.[15][9]
