Vlad Mugur

Vlad Mugur (b. June 22, 1927, Bucharest, Romania; d. July 22, 2001, Munich, Germany) was a Romanian-born German theater director.

He graduated from the Bucharest Theater Institute (directing class) as valedictorian in 1949, but he had started to direct plays two years earlier, in 1947. [Article in the Romanian newspaper Ziua, July 24, 2001]

In 1965 he became director of the National Theater in Cluj.

Later, he moved to Germany.

In Romania he staged plays at the theaters in Bucharest, Craiova, Târgu Mureș, Galați, among others.

In Germany he directed plays at theaters in Munich, Konstanz, Hannover, Esslingen, Munster, among others. [http://books.google.com/books?id=9UW8RCfN3JQC&pg=PA213&lpg=PA213&dq=vlad.mugur+germany&source=web&ots=gyTX8E49Sj&sig=uwQdxjb0_tEWgqQFLcSH39ApuKg&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result]

He staged plays by William Shakespeare, Carlo Goldoni, Luigi Pirandello, Konstantin Simonov, Anton Chekhov, Vsevolod Vishnevskiy, Peter Handke, Walter Jens, Alexei Arbuzov, Albert Camus, Radu Cosaşu, Alexandru Andrițoiu, etc.

He was married to Magda Stief, an actress.

The Vlad Mugur Prize- which is awarded by the Hungarian-language State Theater in Cluj, Romania- is named after him.
