Anthony Creighton (1922, Swanage – 22 March 2005), a British actor and writer, is best known as the co-author of the play Epitaph for George Dillon with John Osborne.
An advertisement in The Stage in 1949 offering actors expenses but no salary was answered by John Osborne who joined the company in Ilfracombe.
Shortly after he collaborated on two plays with Osborne: the first, Personal Enemy, fell foul of the censors at the time; the second was An Epitaph for George Dillon.
Creighton finally admitted in an interview with Osborne's biographer, John Heilpern, that he had lied to de Jongh and no homosexual relationship had ever existed.
[3] Creighton's proximity to the Angry Young Men of the 1950s and 1960s make his extensive collection of letters and diaries of considerable historical importance.
