Raymond Bowers was an Australian writer who mostly worked in London. He worked as a journalist in Perth, writing for amateur theatre. In 1954 at age 34 he went to London in order to improve his chances of having his work done professionally. His breakthrough play was In Writing in 1956, later done for Australian television. "My first aim is to make money," he said in 1957. "To do that you have to entertain. If I have any philosophising to do, I'll leave it until I'm well established."
