Add to basketCondition: Fine. London, March 8, 1961., 1961. Fine. - Over 110 words typed on his 10 inch high by 8 inch wide "John Osborne Productions Ltd." stationery. Replying to a young actor's request for advice, the playwright & actor John Osborne writes "I cannot imagine why you should think I might be able to help or advise you. For on…e thing I do not know you or your circumstances and I can't quite make out what is is you want to know. If you want to be an actor, go and be one, if you don't, don't. In any case, don't expect to be successful or to be loved." Signed in full "John Osborne". Folded for mailing, else fine with the original air mail envelope. The English playwright, screenwriter and actor John Osborne (1929-1994) is thought of as one of the most influential figures in post-war theatre. He briefly worked as a journalist before working as a stage manager and actor. He gained national recognition and fame with his third produced play "Look Back in Anger" in 1956. This first work of "kitchen sink realism" inspired a movement of social realism within domestic settings addressing the disillusion with British Society. George Fearon coined the phrase "angry young man" to describe Osborne when promoting the play.

Add to basketCondition: Near Fine. 1983. 1983. From the estate of the playwright John Osborne, The Hurst, Shropshire. Original watercolour and pencil drawing, signed and dated in pencil by Carl Toms to bottom left, inscribed 'A Patriot For Me / Barron von Epp' to top. Gilt frame with mount. Frame size 595 x 425 mm. English. 595x425mm. 3kg. N…ear fine; not examined out of frame. An original costume design by Carl Toms for John Osborne's play A Patriot for Me, signed by the artist. The costume was designed for the part of Baron von Epp, played by Nigel Stock in the 1983 production of the play at Chichester Festival Theatre. Osborne's play had first appeared in 1965 when it was refused a production licence by the Lord Chamberlain's Office because of its sexually transgressive content. The main character Colonel Alfred Redl is a homosexual intelligence officer and the play is set in Austria-Hungary in the late 19th century. The current design is for a costume to be worn by the Baron at the infamous Drag Ball scene. Nigel Stock/Baron von Epp is resplendent in Viennese fin-de-siecle dress - a pale-pink concoction of frills, diamonds and tiara. Carl Toms worked under Oliver Messel at the beginning of his career. From the collection of the play's writer, John Osborne. We can not ship this framed item through our normal courier and it may need to be removed from the frame.

Add to basketNine pages, A4, good condition. Davies begins the typescript "John is not feeling so good today, said his wife Helen, picking me up at the local railway station. More of a halt really, miles from anywhere, on the Shropshire-Wales border. She looked a bit tired herself, but then being Mrs John Osborne has always been a fairly exh…austing business.[.]" The last words from "but" are underlined in pencil and Osborne has commented in the margin, "Come off it - not that old one!". Among other additions, Helen comments that he has "not much" to contribute to "local life" when Davies has said "nothing". Later Davies adds to his statement about "Jill's suicide" with a MS addition, presumably in Davies hand but perhaps prompted by Osborne, "but [due to] the break-up of an affair with a millionaire businessman". Various additions and corrections throughout, the last two being a. a MS addition concerning Osborne's drinking (in Helen's hand). The final MS addition is probably by Davies himself. Following the typed line "And he did make me smile, even on a bad day", the line in MS ironically "for him. Let's hope there are many better days to come". WITH: [John Osborne, playwright experiencing difficult times] Helen Osborne, wife of John Osborne, playwright [John Osborne, playwright] Autograph Letter Signed "Helen" [Osborne] to Hunter Davies, author, journalist and broadcaster, apparently reviewing an article Davies is seeking to publish & admitting that Osborne and herself are experiencing hard times. Headed "The Hurst | Clunton | Craven Arms Salop", minimal date ("Sun[day]").With envelope. Two pages, 21 x 20cms, fold marks but text clear and in good condition. "Dear Hunter, | Thanks. Have made a few corrections & also - | a) Could you play down the health bit? Sometimes it's pretty good, but this sort of thing scares off commissions & bloody terrifies the bank manager. b) The subject of money. The position is frightful. If you saw the size of the overdraft & the back tax demands, you'd go white overnight. But, again, it gets up the nose of the afore mentioned Bank Manager & what Archie Rice [The Entertainer] called the Income Tax Man. We are treading on sliver-thin ice here. | Also, as I know from a previous Indie [The Independent Newspaper presumably] interview, with La Barber [Lynn Barber], it produced a wad of hate mail from your readers. Ditto the daughter. Which I have to answer. No thanks! | Hope we'll see you again - either here or in your ravishing looking house in the Lakes. Better mood then, I'd hope.[.]" Helen Osborne [nee Dawson] was herself a journalist [Wikipedia] NOTE: Osborne died later in the year in which Davies interviewed him and published a piece (presumably this one) in "The Independent", Osborne's obituary appearing in "The Independent" on 27 December 1994. See Image (half).
