Kathryn Hunter is an American actress and director born to Greek parents. She and her twin came to the UK when she was 18 months old, and all her education, university, and training were done in the UK. She was drawn towards acting because of the inevitable school plays. Though she never had success in them, she had an actor friend who told her everything about the audition pieces that were fascinating to Hunter thus making her avoid a marriage that was originally planned by her parents and enrolled herself into Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
Before joining RADA, she trained at Bristol University. At the age of 20, she suffered a big accident from which she came to a conclusion that “disability” whether physical or mental, with “will power” could provide a spark in life that can release various possibilities. The spark brightened her life after she joined the company Theater de Complicite that released The Visit Click to look into! >> Read More... (1989) for which she won the Olivier Award. She married the co-founder of Complicite Marcello Magni.
The exceptionally talented Hunter with her ultra-flexible limbs, throaty voice, played in various male roles that include King Liar Click to look into! >> Read More... , Richard III, The Bee, The Winter’s Tale, Kafka’s Monkey (she played the role of an ape). She portrayed Cleopatra in Antony & Cleopatra, A Mid Summer Night’s Dream, Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, All or Nothing. In 2008, she was made an Artistic Associate at the Royal Shakespeare Company, and she is also a known associate of RADA where she now directs student’s productions.
