Was Osborne's work more popular in the UK or the US?

  • UK

  • US

  • Equal popularity

  • He was largely unknown in the US

Answer

Osborne's work was more popular in the UK than in the US. This is likely due to the fact that Osborne was a British playwright, and his work was therefore more familiar to British audiences. Additionally, Osborne's work often dealt with British social and political issues, which would have been of greater interest to British audiences than to American audiences.
