Prizes for his film and television work include an Oscar, two BAFTAs, a Writers’ Guild of America Award, the Prix Italia, a Special Jury Award at the Cannes Film Festival, Hollywood Screenwriter of the Year, and The Collateral Award at the Venice Film Festival for Best Literary Adaptation. His works for the stage include original plays (The Talking Cure, White Chameleon, Tales from Hollywood, Treats, Savages, The Philanthropist, Total Eclipse, and When Did You Last See My Mother?); plays adapted from novels (Ödön von Horváth’s The Age of the Fish, Sándor Márai’s Embers, Laclos’ Les Liaisons Dangereuses, George Steiner’s novella The Portage to San Cristobal of A.H.); musicals (Hollywood Boulevard, Dracula: The Musical and, most recently, Stephen Ward, all with Don Black); libretti (Waiting for the Barbarians and Appomattox, both with composer Philip Glass); and many translations (Chekhov, Ibsen, Molière, von Horváth, Yasmina Reza, and a German musical based on Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca). Peter Hackett (director) is the Avalon Foundation Chair in the Humanities and Professor of Theater at Dartmouth College.

In addition to over twenty productions at the Play House, Hackett has directed at professional theaters across the country and abroad. He most recently directed Gypsy at the New London Barn Playhouse and Steve Martin’s The Underpants at the Monomoy Theatre on Cape Cod. His production of Joe Sutton’s Orwell in America, which premiered at Northern Stage last spring, will open next fall at the 59E59 Theaters in New York City.
