Owen, Alun (1925–94), Welsh-Liverpudlian playwright, actor, and television scriptwriter, born in Menai Bridge, North Wales, and educated at Oulton High School, Liverpool. During the war he worked as a Bevin Boy down the coal mines. His gritty, realist television dramas helped to shape the emerging style of TV drama in the 1960s: these include
No Trams to Lime Street (1959) and
After the Funeral (1960); he also wrote a stage play,
A Little Winter Love (1964), and the screenplay for the
Beatles' film,
A Hard Day's Night (1964).
