Early life[edit]

Shawn was born on November 12, 1943, in New York City, to a Jewish family.[3][4][5][6]His parents were journalist Cecille (née Lyon; 1906–2005) andWilliam Shawn(1907–1992), the longtime editor ofThe New Yorker.He has two younger twin siblings: composerAllen Shawn,[7]and Mary, who isautisticand lives in an institution.[8]

Shawn grew up onManhattan'sUpper East Side.[9]He attendedThe Putney School,a private liberal arts high school inPutney, Vermont.He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in history fromHarvard College.He studiedphilosophy, politics and economics,as well as Latin, atMagdalen College, Oxford,originally intending to become a diplomat. He traveled to India as an English teacher on aFulbrightprogram.[10]

Career[edit]

Playwright[edit]

Shawn's early plays, such asMarie and Bruce(1978), portrayed emotional and sexual conflicts in anabsurdiststyle, with language both lyrical and violent. In a conversation withAndre Gregory,parts of which were used to createMy Dinner with Andre,Shawn said these plays depicted "my interior life as a raging beast." Critical response was extremely polarized: some critics hailed Shawn as a major writer, whileJohn SimoncalledMarie and Bruce"garbage" and Shawn "one of the unsightliest actors in this city."[11]His 1977 playA Thought in Three Partscaused controversy in London when the production was investigated by avice squadand attacked in Parliament after allegations of pornographic content.[12]Shawn received anObie Awardfor playwrighting in 1975, forOur Late Night.[13]

Shawn's later plays are more overtly political, drawing parallels between his characters' psychology and the behavior of governments and social classes. Among the best-known of these areAunt Dan and Lemon(1985) andThe Designated Mourner(1997). Shawn's political work has invited controversy, as he often presents the audience with several contradictory points of view. He has calledAunt Dan and Lemona cautionary tale againstfascism.Shawn's monologueThe Fever,originally meant to be performed for small audiences in apartments, depicts a person who becomes sick while struggling to find a morally consistent way to live when faced with injustice, and harshly criticizes the United States' record in supporting oppressiveanti-communistregimes. In 1997, Shawn discussed the political nature ofAunt Dan and Lemon,The FeverandThe Designated Mournerin an interview in which he talked extensively about the thematic connections among them, as well as his own views onMarxist,communistandsocialistpolitics, their relevance toAmerican liberalism,and how governmental and individual responsibilities for finding solutions to the dichotomy between rich and poor in the world take hold in his characters.[14]Aunt Dan and Lemonearned Shawn his second Obie Award for playwrighting in 1986,[15]andThe Feverwon an Obie for Best American Play in 1991.[16]Three of Shawn's plays have been adapted into films:The Designated Mourner(basically a film version ofDavid Hare's stage production),Marie and BruceandThe Fever.Vanessa Redgravestars inThe Fever(2004),[17]which first aired onHBOon June 13, 2007.[18]

Shawn has also written political commentary forThe Nation,and in 2004 he published the one-issue-only progressive political magazineFinal Edition,which featured interviews with and articles byJonathan Schell,Noam Chomsky,Mark StrandandDeborah Eisenberg.Shawn is credited as translator ofBertolt Brecht'sThe Threepenny Opera,which opened atStudio 54inManhattanon March 25, 2006. He appeared briefly in voiceover during "Song about the Futility of Human Endeavor". He published his first nonfiction work,Essays,on September 1, 2009. It is a collection of essays that express his perceptions of politics and other aspects of his life.[19]

After seeing his performance inMy Dinner with Andre(1981), casting director Janet Hirshenson was so fond of his delivery of the word "inconceivable" that she cast him as Vizzini inThe Princess Bride(1987). Other roles include Baron Von Westphalen inSouthland Tales,Cyrus Rose onGossip Girl,and Ezra inThe Haunted Mansion(2003).[20][21][22]
