William Gibson was born in 1914 in New York City. He wrote poetry, fiction, and scripts for stage, television, and films. His plays include THE MIRACLE WORKER (Tony Award, Best Play 1960), which was originally produced for TV’s "Playhouse 90"; TWO FOR THE SEESAW; A CRY OF PLAYERS; GOLDA; THE BUTTERFINGERS ANGEL; MONDAY AFTER THE MIRACLE; GOODLY CREATURES, and HANDY DANDY. He wrote a novel, "The Cobweb," as well as the musical version of Clifford Odets’ GOLDEN BOY. His several books include "The Seesaw Log;" "A Mass for the Dead," a study of his family; and a volume of poetry entitled "Winter Crook." Mr. Gibson’s book "A Season in Heaven," takes a look at metaphysics and the creative process, and his book "Shakespeare’s Game" was a critical study. He was married to the psychoanalyst Margaret Brenman-Gibson, whose biography, "Clifford Odets, American Playwright," appeared in 1982.
