Vivian Matalon

Vivian Matalon (born October 11, 1929) is a British award-winning theatre director.

Born in Manchester, England, Matalon began his career as an actor in a series of forgettable British films, but his greatest success has been as a director of West End, Broadway, and regional theater productions.

Matalon's West End credits include "Bus Stop" with Lee Remick and Keir Dullea, "I Never Sang for My Father" with Raymond Massey, and "The Glass Menagerie" with Anna Massey. He was artistic director for three years at the Hampstead Theatre, where his productions included Clifford Odets' "Awake and Sing" and the European premiere of "Small Craft Warnings" by Tennessee Williams.

Matalon presently is serving on the Artisic Advisory Board of New York City's New Worlds Theatre Project, which makes late 19th and early 20th century Yiddish plays accessible to contemporary audiences in modern English translations.
