FameRank: 4

"John Robert Whiting" was an English actor, dramatist and critic.

Born in Salisbury, England/Salisbury, he was educated at Taunton School. "the particular hellish life which is the English public school" as he described it. Trained at Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts/RADA, he then worked as an actor in repertory, and while in the company at Bideford in Devon, met the actress Asthore Lloyd Mawson (Jackie). At the start of the Second World War, as a lifelong pacifist, he registered as a conscientious objector, but soon after changed his mind and joined the anti-aircraft section of the Royal Artillery: his wartime experiences as a soldier were to mark a profound change in his life and work. In 1940, he married Jackie, and in 1944 he was discharged from the army for health reasons.

From 1946 till 1952, while writing, he again worked as an actor, as a member of John Gielgud's company, and also, in 1951, winning first prize in the Festival of Britain play competition for Saint's Day. His works include:

* No More A-Roving (1947)

* Conditions of Agreement (1947)

* Saint's Day (1947–49)

* A Penny for a Song. A play (1951)

* Marching Song. A play (1953)

* The Gates of Summer. A play (1956)

* No Why (1957)
