Gibson, William (b. 1914), playwright. A native New Yorker who studied at City College, Gibson had his earliest dramas produced at regional theatres. His first play to reach Broadway was the successful two‐hander
Two for the Seesaw (1958), followed by the popular
The Miracle Worker (1959) about Helen Keller and her tutor, Annie Sullivan. Gibson later collaborated on the book of the musical
Golden Boy (1964) and then rewrote
A Cry of Players (1968), an earlier play dealing with Shakespeare's decision to become a playwright. His
Golda (1977) dealt with the Israeli political leader Golda Meir. He returned to the Keller‐Sullivan relationship in the sequel
Monday after the Miracle (1982) and rewrote the Meir work as a one‐woman program called
Golda's Balcony (2003). A number of his other plays have been produced by regional stages.
