Daniel Sullivan

Sullivan, Daniel (b. 1940), director and manager. He was born in Wray, Colorado, and educated at San Francisco State University, staying after graduation to work in local theatres. Sullivan was assistant director for Hair (1968) and An Enemy of the People (1971) on Broadway before he started directing Off Broadway and at Lincoln Center. But much of the 1970s was spent in regional theatres, in particular at the Seattle Repertory Theatre, where he served as artistic director in the 1980s. His Seattle production of I'm Not Rappaport (1985) brought Sullivan back to Manhattan, where he has staged such critical successes as The Heidi Chronicles (1988), The Sisters Rosensweig (1992), Dinner with Friends (1999), A Moon for the Misbegotten (2000), Proof (2000), Major Barbara (2001), and The Retreat from Moscow (2003).

Sullivan, T[imothy] D[aniel] (1827-1914), politician and poet; born in Bantry, Co. Cork, the elder brother of A. M. Sullivan, whom he succeeded as editor-publisher of The Nation from 1876. His Lays of the Land League (1887) reflect his involvement in land agitation, while Prison Songs (1888) were composed in Tullamore Gaol during a six-month sentence. Besides numerous anthologies, his volumes of poetry include Dunboy (1861), and Blanaid (from the Irish) (1891).
