include an Oscar, two BAFTAs, a Writers’ Guild of
America Award, the Prix Italia, a Special Jury

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).
