English playwright John Osborne and many more
Interesting note about John Osborne, I just watched Look Back in Anger the 1959 film starring Richard Burton. This film is based upon the award-winning play by Osborne. I thought that Burton's performance, as well as the entire cast, was riveting and compelling. Like many films based on theatrical plays relied soley on the story and the acting. Something we don't see enough of in popular film today.
