"When a theater company, which was on the brink of bankruptcy, decided to gamble its last card on John Osborne’s debut play, Look Back in Anger, the company’s press manager expressed that he did not like the play, and he feared that it would be impossible to market. He even coined the term angry young man, in reference to the gritty realism and violence depicted in Osborne’s play which was probably rejected more number of times than the seventeen days it took Osborne to write it. During the play’s London opening night, most critics agreed that it was a failure. Laurence Olivier said that it was “bad theater”. How could a play recover from such a scathing remark from a theater legend? " - Click here to read the full review.SYNOPSIS - ABOUT THE SHOW
Jimmy Porter is angry. Over-educated and underemployed, he is stuck in a dead-end job. His wife won't talk to him. His best friend is always by her side. When her upper-crust friend shows up unexpectedly, Jimmy reaches the breaking point. John Osborne's ground-breaking story of a working-class hero fighting for his wife's love is as resonant now as it was in 1956, when Kenneth Tynan wrote...
"I could not love anyone who did not wish to see LOOK BACK IN ANGER."
