About Kenneth Tynan:
Kenneth Peacock Tynan was an English theatre critic and writer. Making his initial impact as a critic at The Observer (1954–58, 1960–63), he praised Osborne's Look Back in Anger (1956), and encouraged the emerging wave of British theatrical talent. In 1963, Tynan was appointed as the new National Theatre Company's literary manager.
Not content to have the audience in the palm of his hand, he goes one further and clinches his fist.
