Alasdair Hunter is a Scottish theatre director working across classical and contemporary performance, with an established international practice spanning the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and Asia.

Working between Scotland and Prague, his career has been shaped by a sustained engagement with Shakespeare and a commitment to international artistic collaboration. His work brings together rigorous textual investigation, ensemble-based performance and an interest in how theatre can interrogate questions of power, identity and human experience.

Alongside an extensive body of classical productions, Alasdair is developing new work exploring interdisciplinary collaboration, immersive performance and the relationship between artists, audiences and theatrical space.

His international practice includes work with Shakespeare’s Globe and The Shakespeare Ensemble, alongside collaborations with artists and organisations across Europe and North America and a sustained relationship with Prague Shakespeare Company.

In 2025, he was Associate Director of LEAR, a contemporary reimagining of Shakespeare’s tragedy created by Ramesh Meyyappan, directed by Orla O’Loughlin and produced by Raw Material in association with the National Theatre of Scotland. The production premiered at Singapore International Festival of Arts.

He is the founder and Artistic Director of Shakespeare.scot, established in 2019 to develop international collaborations and performance projects bringing Scottish and international artists together through Shakespeare’s work.
