LOOK BACK IN ANGER revolves around volatile malcontent Jimmy Porter, his long-suffering wife Alison, and the best friend who bears quiet witness to their tumultuous, deteriorating marriage.
When one of Alison's friends comes to stay with them, the four fight each other, fall in and out of love, and release their pent-up rage towards the outside world. It is a searing look at class, sex, politics and the angry, alienated youth living on the margins.
Called the "most vivid play of the decade" by the New York Times, the influence of Osborne's 1956 masterwork on generations of playwrights cannot be underestimated.
