Bury, John

Bury, John
▪ 2001

      British set designer (b. Jan. 27, 1925, Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire [now Dyfed], Eng.—d. Nov. 12, 2000, Burleigh, Gloucestershire, Eng.), was head of design for the Royal Shakespeare Company from 1965 to 1968 and for the Royal National Theatre from 1973 to 1985. He also created sets for the Royal Opera House and the Glyndebourne Festival Opera. Bury's bold, stylized sets—which often incorporated such materials as metal, glass, and brick and featured dramatic architectural structures—were a radical departure from the painted, decorative sets that had characterized traditional British theatre. In 1981 he won Tony Awards for best set design and best lighting for the Broadway production of Peter Shaffer's Amadeus. Bury was made an OBE in 1979.
