Born in 1930 in Bury St. Edmunds, England, Hall was educated at Perse School and St. Catharine's College in Cambridge. After a debut in Windsor, England, and directing the Oxford Playhouse, Hall ran the Arts Theatre in London where productions included the world premiere of the English language version of Waiting for Godot . During the years that followed, Hall's claim to fame came with his creation of the Royal Shakespeare Co., for notable productions while being director of the Royal National Theatre and director of the Glyndebourne Opera in England, and for forming The Peter Hall Co., which crafted productions of Orpheus Descending with actress Vanessa Redgrave and The Merchant of Venice with actor Dustin Hoffman. The general public is invited to observe Hall's work with a select group of student actors. He will open and close the class with a few personal remarks to the observers.
