An English Playwright

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NF_Simpson
"Norman Frederick Simpson (born 29 January 1919) is an English playwright closely associated with the Theatre of the Absurd. To his friends, he is known as Wally Simpson, in comic reference to the abdication crisis of 1936....

A Resounding Tinkle typifies Simpson’s aversion to plot and establishes his talent for memorable one-liners and non-sequiturs. The play, as with all of his subsequent work, demands absolutely straight delivery from actors. Such an approach fosters a conviction within the audience that the characters are living in a form of reality, where the formation of a government can be arranged via door-to-door enquiries. The extraordinary and impossible are treated as perfectly rational everyday events. This comic balance is recognised as a major influence on the early work of Peter Cook, particularly the E. L. Wisty monologues....

Simpson now resides in Cornwall and continues to write."

He was Homer's racist British cousin!
