Sir Trevor Nunn brings Gone with the Wind to the West End
Times Online: "Sir Trevor Nunn has the look of the cat that got the cream, quite literally, with his darting, feline eyes, his thick, glossy hair (darker than it has a right to be in a man two years from 70) and the comfortable midriff of a contented creature. Did I like him? Impossible to say. He wasn’t unfriendly, answered questions readily, but he seemed utterly remote sitting just six inches away, which is curious for a famed people-person who grows moist-eyed eulo-gising the great humanists – Shakespeare, Picasso, Mozart."

One thing is for sure, as much as some of the shows he worked on are considered some of the worst in Musical theatre history, some of them are also considered the best. He doesn't back away from a challenge. I've never seen Gone With the Wind, but I'm sure it will be a very interesting and impressive show that will make its way to Broadway within the next year or two. We shall see. Props to Trevor Nunn for not giving up what he does best. Directing musicals that go down in history as something or other.
Trevor Nunn's work has always stood out to me as some of the best on Broadway. In the past few years, people I have worked with have always brought up Nunn's work as some of the best they've seen, especially working on Oklahoma last year. His vision really helped shape a production that I worked on from a directing standpoint.
