Wilson, Robert

(1941– ) playwright, theatrical director/ producer/designer, sculptor; born in Waco, Texas. Trained as an artist, he became a creator of plotless, operatically scaled, highly stylized avant-garde theater works. His productions, which tend to investigate history, science and cultural identity, are often very long (The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin lasts 12 hours). His career was more active and his reputation far higher in Europe than in the United States. His sculpture won the Golden Lion at the 1993 Venice Biennale.
