Alan Dossor
Alan Dossor (19 September 1941 – 7 August 2016) was a British theatre director.[1]
He was artistic director of the Everyman Theatre Liverpool from 1970 to 1975. He was considered by British theatre/entertainment newspaper The Stage to have been "a major influence on some of our greatest actors and writers"[2] - in a period described by British national newspaper The Guardian as "a golden five-year period in British regional theatre".[3]
His production of John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert by Willy Russell transferred to the West End in 1974. He directed plays in the West End, at West Yorkshire Playhouse, Hampstead Theatre, the Royal Court Theatre, the Young Vic and the Lyric Hammersmith. He had an extensive career directing television drama since 1977.
Dossor directed theatre and television plays by contemporary playwrights like Alan Bleasdale, Chris Bond, Stephen Lowe, John McGrath, Adrian Mitchell and Willy Russell, Mike Stott, C.P.Taylor and Charles Wood; as well as classic plays by Bertolt Brecht and Shakespeare.
