Stage
Vosper made his stage debut in 1919 and was best known for playing urbane villains.
His extensive stage experience included appearing in his own play Love from a Stranger (1936), adapted from the short story Philomel Cottage by Agatha Christie.
His other plays included co-writing the comedy No Funny Business.
He also wrote People Like Us, based on the case of Edith Thompson and Frederick Bywaters. Banned by the Lord Chamberlain after a performance at the Strand Theatre featuring Atholl Fleming, it remained unperformed until 1948 when it premiered at the Wyndhams Theatre, London, with Miles Malleson, George Rose, Robert Flemyng and Kathleen Michael.
