Gender	Male
Nationality	English
Date of Birth	22 February 1881
Date of Death	11 December 1913
Functions	Playwright
Notes	British playwright, born in Cheshire, educated at Manchester Grammar School. He went into his father's cotton business, hoping eventually to become a professional writer. Though he wrote a classic short play in The Dear Departed (1908), and though there is dramatic merit in the longer The Younger Generation (1909) and The Perfect Cure (1911), he did not achieve his ambition until the year before he died of meningitis. Hindle Wakes, which came with great success to London in 1912, remains one of the most striking achievements of the so-called ‘Manchester School’ of playwrights associated with that city's Gaiety Theatre.
