I believe the answer is:

orton

(Other definitions for orton that I've seen before include "Joe -, dramatist (Entertaining Mr Sloane)" , "British dramatist Joe, noted for black comedies" , "Joe ---, Loot playwright" , "Joe -, English playwright" , "Joe -, Eng. dramatist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
