John Peter Haidar (born 7 August 1990) is an Irish-Lebanese director, known for notable theatrical productions of Disco Pigs, Richard III and Hamlet. He was Associate Director of Headlong between 2017 and 2019. In 2023, he was appointed Associate Director of Theatre Royal, Plymouth.[1][2]
Background
Haidar was born in England, though his mother is Irish and his father is Lebanese. He studied English Literature at Trinity College, Cambridge and Merton College, Oxford, where he wrote on Irish modernism. He is also a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Career
Haidar's production of Hamlet at Bristol Old Vic, starring Billy Howle, Niamh Cusack and Mirren Mack, was listed in The Observer's 10 Best Shows of 2022.[3], although The Times reviewer called him capricious and prone to indulge in too many whims.[4] It was shown in UK and Ireland cinemas in 2023, produced by Altitude Films.[5]
