Looking back at John Osborne: Pictures and possessions from his estate
John Osborne (1929-1994) was the original “angry young man” whose play Look Back in Anger disrupted the complacency of 1950s England, gave voice to a new generation, and made British theatre important again. Now, as a new production of that first “kitchen sink drama” is due to open at The Almeida Theatre and Oasis is set to reprise the songs of their angry youth, a collection of John Osborne’s most personal possessions from the house in which he spent his final years is coming to auction.
The Olympia Auctions sale of pictures and possessions from The Hurst will be held online from 10th – 20th October, with all items on view to the public from 13th – 18th October. Estimates range from £50 - £5,000.
