My father, Thomas Godfrey Osborne, was born in Newport, Monmouthshire, on May 8th. . . .The Second World War ended on 8 May 1945, a date which now passes as unremembered as 4 August 1914. On 8 May 1956, my first play to be produced in London, Look Back in Anger, had its opening at the Royal Court Theatre.' See more »Trivia:
