Biography

Playwright and biographer Tad Mosel was born George Ault Mosel, Jr. on May 1, 1922. From 1940 to 1943, he attended Amherst College, where he majored in English and wrote his first play, The Happiest Years (1942). He entered Yale Drama School in 1947. Mosel left in 1949 to join the Broadway cast of At War with the Army. During the early 1950s, Mosel had a play, The Lion Hunters (1952), produced Off Broadway at the Provincetown Playhouse, but he found writing work primarily in television, creating original teleplays, as well as adaptations of the works of others. In 1958, producer Fred Coe asked Mosel to adapt James Agee?s novel A Death in the Family for the stage. All the Way Home, Mosel?s play, opened at the Belasco Theatre on November 30, 1960, and went on to win the New York Drama Critics Circle award, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In addition to his work for stage and television, Mosel also wrote screenplays, and, in 1978, he co-authored Leading Lady: The World and Theatre of Katharine Cornell, with Gertrude Macy. Mosel has had numerous teaching assignments and currently lives in Concord, New Hampshire.
