Aubrey Ensor, playwright and artistic, had a formative influence on Evelyn Waugh, and remained a family friend of his parents and elder brother Alec.. He was at one time associated with the Everyman Theatre, Hampstead, at another was curator of the Iveagh Bequest, Kenwood. In My Brother Evelyn and Other Profiles, (1967), Alec writes: 'For nearly every artist there is someone outside the family, a schoolmaster, a parson, who at a very early age lengthens his horizon, opening windows on new landscapes. Aubrey Ensor did that for Evelyn'.
