Helena Bell

We are so sorry to learn of the passing of our much admired and treasured artistic colleague and dear friend, Helena Bell, Artistic Director of Kali Theatre company.

Helena was an entirely benign artistic force and has left a huge legacy. Kali partnered Sphinx on several projects, most recently Sphinx 30 playwrights’ project for which Helena nominated Satinder Chohan.

She will be so sadly missed.
