Playwright
John Osborne
Look Back in Anger in 1956 is usually treated as the moment British theatre stopped being about drawing rooms. He was the original angry young man.
John James Osborne was an English playwright, screenwriter, actor, and entrepreneur, who is regarded as one of the most influential figures in post-war theatre. Born in London, he briefly worked as a journalist before starting out in theatre as a stage manager and actor. He lived in poverty for several years before his third produced play, Look Back in Anger (1956), brought him national fame.
