The Entertainer Author:John Osborne A play by Osborne that is "...a genuine piece of twentieth century folk-art, a grotesque cry of rage and pain at the bad hand history is dealing out to what was once the largest, most prosperous empire in the world....Mr. Osborne takes up the Twentieth-Century Blues from the point where Mr. Coward left off." ___John Raymond in the "New Statesmen"
