Filip Krenus is a Croatian writer, translator and theatre-maker based in London. After studying English and Literature at the University of Zagreb, he trained as an actor at East 15 Acting School and later specialised in classical theatre at Drama Centre London, Shakespeare’s Globe and the Vakhtangov Institute in Moscow, becoming the first Croatian actor to perform on the Globe stage. In 2012 he founded Honey-tongued Theatre Productions, and he is co-founder and Creative Director of Midsummer Scene Festival. His English translations of Marin Držić, published by the House of Marin Držić, include Uncle Maroye (Dundo Maroje), Old Stan or A Fool Fooled (Novela od Stanca), Pinch Hoard (Skup), and Plakir, Son of Cupid. For Pinch Hoard and Plakir, he also reconstructed the missing endings in Renaissance English, seeking to preserve the imaginative spirit and theatrical completeness for contemporary performance. The cycle has been presented internationally, including at the Gdańsk Shakespeare Festival, the York St John University, Conway Hall in London, and the Library of the European Parliament in Brussels.

With director Sean Aita he co-wrote A Poor Player, which toured festivals across Europe and was translated into Romanian and Hungarian. His first full-length play, Rougher Magic, inspired by the life of John Dee, was shortlisted for the ESFN’s ShakeSPHERE New Play competition in 2024. He has also written essays and introductions on translation and folklore, including Vila – Semantics of Enchantment, exploring the challenges of translating the Croatian word vila (“fairy”) into English, and Crafting Witchcraft, an introductory essay to his translation of Moon Shadows by Zdenko Bašić. His forthcoming book A Wizard in a Cave, also illustrated by Zdenko Bašić, is currently in preparation. His book Necromancer Speaks, illustrated by Dubravko Kastrapeli, will be published bilingually next year by the House of Marin Držić.

His work moves between myth, Renaissance literature and theatrical illusion. One for All was written especially for performance at Fort Lovrjenac.
