Look Back In Anger

Described as a 'landmark of British Theatre', John Osborne’s iconic play catapulted Jimmy Porter, the first ‘Angry Young Man’, onto the stage. A vicious indictment of middle-class mediocrity, Look Back In Anger is an enthralling and disturbing work by a master British playwright.

Jimmy browbeats his flatmate, terrorises his wife and is not above sleeping with her best friend. This working class Hamlet is one of the most mesmerising characters ever to burst onto the stage – he is the man you want to hate but can’t help loving - a malevolently vital, volcanically articulate internal exile in a dreary post-war England.

Still as shocking and relevant today as when it first premiered in 1956, this sizzling, passionate, darkly humorous play is a sharply funny, fiercely honest exploration of political disillusionment and basic human yearning.
