Osborne, John. The Columbia Encyclopedia
1929–94, English dramatist. He began his theatrical career as an actor
and playwright in provincial English repertory theaters. Osborne’s plays usually focus on an
individual character and the sheer force of his language rather than on action. His first
commercial success was Look Back in Anger (1956), concerning a restless and vociferous
young man of the working class who is at war with himself and society; it became the seminal
work for the so-called angry young men. [eng]

Osborne, John - Britannica.com
The son of a commercial artist and a barmaid, Osborne used insurance money from his
father's death in 1941 for a boarding- school education at Belmont College, Devon. He
hated it and left after striking the headmaster. He went home to his mother in London and
briefly tried trade journalism until a job tutoring a touring company of juvenile actors
introduced him to the theatre. He was soon acting himself, later becoming an
actor-manager for various repertory companies in provincial towns and also trying his
hand at playwriting. His first play, The Devil Inside Him, was written in 1950 with his
friend and mentor Stella Linden, an actress and one of Osborne's first passions.
