Theatre making in Cyprus and Greece

December 13, 2024 Written by CAS Communications

Heinz-Uwe Haus’ book Heinz-Uwe Haus and Theatre Making in Cyprus and Greece, originally published in 2021, was released in paperback in December 2024 (Cambridge Scholars Publishing). 

The professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance is an internationally renowned director and is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on Bertolt Brecht. 

This book presents to the reader a selection of the considerable amount of material written and published in relation to Haus's productions of Brecht's plays and Brechtian productions by other dramatists, especially ancient Greek drama, in Cyprus and Greece since his production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle marked the launch of the Cyprus National Theatre in 1975 after the country's political turmoil that had culminated in the Turkish invasion. This includes material written by Haus at the time for his cast, reviews and academic articles about the productions, conference contributions and reflections by cast members (both professional actors and university faculty) and designers (set, costume, light, music). His work in Cyprus and Greece led to further collaborations on productions of ancient Greek plays across the world.
