Shepard Traube

Shepard Traube (1907–1983) was a theatrical producer and director who is best known for his Broadway production of Patrick Hamilton's Angel Street (Gas Light), for which he won the 1941 New York Drama Critics' Circle award for best director. The play ran for 1,295 performances, one of the longest-running nonmusical productions on record, and was adapted into George Cukor's Oscar-winning 1944 film Gaslight, from which the term "gaslighting" is derived.
