Look Back in Anger
"Look Back in Anger" is a play written by John Osborne in 1956. It centers around the life of Jimmy Porter, a disillusioned young man struggling with his anger and frustration in post-war Britain. The play explores themes of class conflict, emotional turmoil, and the complexities of relationships, particularly through Jimmy's tumultuous marriage to Allison.
The narrative unfolds in a small, cramped flat, highlighting the characters' interpersonal struggles. Cliff Lewis, Jimmy's friend, and Helena Charles, Allison's friend, also play significant roles, contributing to the tension and drama. The play is considered a landmark of modern British theatre, marking the rise of the "Angry Young Men" movement.
