The World of Paul Slickey
''The World of Paul Slickey'' (1959) is a play by John Osborne. It was Osborne's only attempt to write a musical, intended as a social satire on high-society gossip columnists. After the huge successes of Osborne's previous plays ''Look Back in Anger'' and ''The Entertainer'', the play was to become "one of the most spectacular disasters in English theatre".〔Heilpern, John, ''John Osborne: A Patriot for Us'', 2007, Random House, pp.249-54.〕
==Creation==
The play was based on an earlier unproduced drama called ''An Artificial Comedy, or Love in a Myth'', which had been turned down for production by both George Devine and Tony Richardson. Osborne adapted it to become a musical, with deliberately "cartoon characters".〔 The adapted version was produced by Donald Albery. Osborne himself directed. The music for the songs was written by Christopher Whelan, an established composer of incidental music for theatre. The lyrics were by Osborne.〔 Hugh Casson designed the set. Kenneth MacMillan choreographed the dance sequences.〔(MacMillan: Choreographer )〕
The play's central character, Paul Slickey, was based on gossip columnist William Hickey.〔
