Herbert Percival James Marshall[1] (20 January 1906—28 May 1991) was a British writer who was also involved in filmmaking, theater design and direction, education, and Russian literature.
Their most successful production was the London run of Robert Ardrey's anti-fascist play Thunder Rock, which Marshall directed and in which Brilliant acted.
[3] The production also starred Michael Redgrave, first at the Neighbourhood Theatre in South Kensington and then at The Globe in London's West End.
In 1966 they returned to the United States where he was offered a professorship in Soviet and East European studies at the University of Southern Illinois at Carbondale.
He also translated scores of Russian poems, plays and short stories and wrote more than a dozen books and screenplays.
