He spent three years as an assistant director and dramaturge at the Wooster Group.〔Pacheco, Patrick. ("Sam Gold feeds off 'Anger'" ) ''The Los Angeles Times'', February 19, 2012〕 He explained that "my career has been very focused on brand-new plays for a while. But, always, the reason I got into the theatre was because I was inspired by these classics. I was an English major and I loved the plays, so I think my work with new writers has always been based on my information from these old plays..."〔Jones, Kenneth. ("Playbill Brief Encounter With Sam Gold, Director of Seminar and Look Back in Anger" ) Playbill, February 26, 2012〕 Gold is the Resident Director at the Roundabout Theatre Company.〔("Associate Artists" ) roundabouttheatre.org, accessed October 8, 2015〕 On Broadway, he directed ''Seminar'' in 2011, a revival of ''Picnic'' in 2013 for the Roundabout Theatre Company,〔Haun, Harry. ("Hot in the Heartland: The Yearning Lovers of William Inge's 'Picnic'" ) Playbill, January 12, 2013〕 ''The Realistic Joneses'' in 2014 and ''The Real Thing'' in 2014 for the Roundabout Theatre Company.〔 He directed ''Fun Home'' on Broadway in 2015,〔("Sam Gold Broadway Credits and Awards" ) playbillvault.com, accessed October 7, 2015〕 in a Public Lab at The Public Theater in October 2012,〔Hetrick, Adam. ("Jeanine Tesori-Lisa Kron Musical 'Fun Home', With Judy Kuhn, Begins Public Run Oct. 17" ) Playbill, October 17, 2012〕 and Off-Broadway at The Public Theater in 2013. For ''Fun Home'', he won the 2015 Tony Award, Best Direction of a Musical〔 and 2014 Obie Award, Musical Theater.〔Gans, Andrew. ("59th Annual Obie Award Winners Announced; Sydney Lucas Is Youngest Winner in Obie History" ) Playbill, May 19, 2014〕 His Off-Broadway directing work began with ''The Black Eyed'' at the New York Theatre Workshop in 2007.〔("Sam Gold Off-Broadway" ) lortel.org, accessed October 7, 2015〕 He directed ''The Big Meal'' by Dan LeFranc in 2012 at Playwrights Horizons and won the 2012 Lucille Lortel Award, Outstanding Director.〔("'The Big Meal' 2012" ) lortel.org, accessed October 7, 2015〕 The ''CurtainUp'' reviewer wrote: "...as moved from page to stage by director Sam Gold and his ensemble, everything becomes remarkably and most effectively — enough so to make this a full-flavored theatrical meal.... LeFranc, like another Playwrights Horizon favorite, Annie Baker, has written exactly the kind of play that's director Sam Gold's forte. Like Baker's 'Circle Mirror Transformation', 'The Big Meal' is a play in which nothing much happens, but everything does."〔Sommer, Elyse. ("CurtainUp Review. 'The Big Meal'" ) curtainup.com, March 16, 2012〕 He directed a revival of ''Look Back in Anger'' for the Roundabout Theatre Company in 2012. David Finkle, in his review for ''TheatreMania'' of ''Look Back in Anger'', wrote: "...there's no question the challenge director Sam Gold faced in mounting this possibly-dated work was finding an approach to the fire-brand script that would infuse it with the shock value it had at its debut. Not only has he met the test, Gold deserves a chorus of huzzahs for unmitigated audacity."〔Finkle, David. ("Review. 'Look Back in Anger'" ) theatremania.com, February 2, 2012〕 He directed a staged concert presentation of ''The Cradle Will Rock'' for Encores! Off-Center in July 2013. David Finkle, reviewing for ''The Huffington Post'', wrote: "The cast of the Encores! Off-Center concert production of Marc Blitzstein's once highly controversial first musical 'The Cradle Will Rock' are dressed in Clint Ramos's formal attire. The look, apparently chosen by the habitually iconoclastic director Sam Gold, is certainly nothing like what the original cast was intended to wear...is likely that he understands there's no point in expecting contemporary audiences to insert themselves fully into the context of the times... That may be why Gold's presenting the work of art as simply as he does is so completely effective."〔Finkle, david. ("First Nighter: Blitzstein's 1937 'Cradle Will Rock' Rocks 2013 Encores! Off-Center" ) ''Huffington Post'', July 11, 2013〕 In regional theatre, he directed ''A Doll's House'' at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in 2011.〔(''A Doll's House'' ) wtfestival.org, accessed october 8, 2015〕 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「Sam Gold (director)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
