(director)

Edward Hall (b. 1967) is an English theatre director and an associate director at The National Theatre. Hall is known for directing Rose Rage, a stage adaptation of Shakespeare's three Henry VI plays. He also runs an all-male Shakespeare company, Propellor.

Hall is the son of the English theatre director Sir Peter Hall by his second marriage. He is the brother of English actress Rebecca Hall. Hall studied at Leeds University and Mountview Theatre School. He began his professional career as a theatre director at the Watermill Theatre in the early 1990s. At the Watermill, Hall directed a number of Shakespeare plays, including Henry V and The Comedy of Errors.

In 2002, Hall directed Rose Rage at the Haymarket Theatre. This was an ambitious adaptation of all three Shakespeare'sHenry VI plays. It was described by The Guardian as "an exhilaratingly surreal and bloody take on Shakespeare."[1]

Although he has for the most part worked in the theatre, Hall has also done some directing for radio and television. He has directed Into Exile for BBC Radio 4. For television, Hall directed episodes of Trial and Retribution and Marple.
