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. "The Entertainer" (1957), "Luther" (1961), and "Inadmissable Evidence" (1964) were also well-received'. (Wiki) ***'This third collection of John Osborne's dramatic work includes three classic plays for the stage which confirm his reputation as one of the greatest British playwrights of the twentieth century. ***A Patriot for Me: "It is a landmark play in its open treatment of homosexuality and in the breadth of its historical canvas --- few post-war plays have dealt so brilliantly with the way the individual, in rejecting the ethos of his society, also uncannily reflects it." - Guardian. ***Luther: "The language is urgent and sinewy, packed with images that derive from bone, blood and marrow; the prose, especially in Luther's sermons, throbs with a rhetorical zeal that has not been heard in English historical drama since the seventeenth century." - Kenneth Tynan. ***Inadmissible Evidence: "This is a work of stunning and intemperate power, a great bellow of rage and pain --- there is a self-lacerating honesty about his writing that few other playwrights have come close to matching." - Daily Telegraph.
