Kester Berwick (3 October 1903 – 29 June 1992)[1] was an Australian actor and writer who spent the latter part of his life in Greece.
Born Frank Perkins in Adelaide, South Australia, he changed his name to Kester Baruch after a friend told him that would sound "less plebeian", than changed it again to Kester Berwick at the beginning of World War II, when he was living in Switzerland.
Berwick studied at Dartington Hall, Devon, England, with Michael Chekhov a former student of Stanislavski, for four years from 1936 to 1937.
In the 1940s he was involved in directing plays at The Hut, now part of the University of Adelaide Theatre Guild.
Berwick settled in Mithymna (Molyvos), on the island of Lesbos in 1960, later moving to Gastouri, Corfu in 1969 where he lived until his death at the age of 89 in 1992.
