Anatoly Vasilievich Efros ((ロシア語:Анато́лий Васи́льевич Э́фрос); June 3, 1925, Kharkiv—January 13, 1987, Moscow) was a Russian and Soviet theatre director. He was a leading interpreter of Russian classics during the Era of Stagnation and "received numerous awards for creative excellence".〔https://books.google.ru/books?id=hRtqTy1-Aw8C〕 His writings on theatre were published in English under the titles ''The Joy of Rehearsal: Reflections on Interpretation and Practice'' (ISBN 9780820463384) and ''The Craft of Rehearsal: Further Reflections on Interpretation and Practice'' (ISBN 9780820488608). ==Children's Theatre and the Lenkom== Efros was born in Kharkiv. In 1954, he was appointed to run the Central Theatre for Children in Moscow and managed to transform it from a conservative backwater into one of the most fashionable Soviet theatres. At that early period, he staged many plays by Victor Rozov, including ''Searching for Happiness'' (1957), ''Unequal Battle'' (1960), ''Before Supper'' (1962). In 1963, Efros moved to the Lenkom Theatre and worked there for three years. It was there that he staged another Rozov's play, ''On the Wedding Day'' (1964). Viña Delmar's ''Make Way for Tomorrow'' was produced by him in the Mossovet Theatre (1966), with Faina Ranevskaya and Rostislav Plyatt in leading roles. ==Malaya Bronnaya Theatre== The most fruitful period of Efros's career is associated with his work in the Malaya Bronnaya Theatre 〔(mbronnaya.theatre.ru )〕 (1967-84). While working in that theatre, he attracted the crowds of Moscow intelligentsia to his impeccably acted productions of Chekhov's ''Three Sisters'' (1967), Moliere's ''Don Juan'' (1974), and Gogol's ''The Marriage'' (1974).〔(Gogol's "The Marriage" )〕 The Communist authorities did not fail to detect a note of discontent in his interpretations of classics and moved to shut them down.〔James N. Loehlin. ''The Cambridge Introduction to Chekhov''. Cambridge University Press, 2010. P. 172-173.〕 Olga Yakovleva and Lev Durov were the actors he most frequently worked with. In 1978, he filmed his fifth and final movie, ''On Thursday, and Never Again''. This psychologically poignant drama, set in the taut atmosphere of Chekhov's plays, featured an impressive cast of actors, led by Innokenty Smoktunovsky.〔http://2011.russiancinema.ru/index.php?e_dept_id=2&e_movie_id=763〕 ==Taganka Theatre== In the 1970s, Efros collaborated with the stage director Yury Lyubimov on several projects. In 1973, for instance, he directed a TV adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's play ''The Cabal of Hypocrites'', with Lyubimov in the title role of Molière. Two years later, Lyubimov invited Efros into his own Taganka Theatre to stage ''The Cherry Orchard''. Both directors were drawn to the traditions of Vsevolod Meyerhold and Yevgeny Vakhtangov. In 1984, after Lyubimov left the Taganka Theatre for the West, Efros accepted an offer to run that theatre. Most of the actors, however, treated him as an enemy and sometimes flatly refused to cooperate with him. It is thought that the conflict with the Taganka actors contributed to Efros's premature death. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anatoly Efros」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
