«Look Back in Anger» is the play by John Osborne, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (112 pages, in English).
Jimmy Porter, a young working-class man with a university education, vents his frustration against postwar British society in his marriage to Alison and in his daily life with his friend Cliff. The play portrays anger, alienation and the search for purpose, making domestic conflict a mirror of his generation's discontent.
The play premiered in 1956 and is a landmark of modern British theatre, associated with the angry young men movement. This edition belongs to the Faber Drama series.
For readers interested in twentieth-century British theatre and the evolution of postwar social drama.
John James Osborne was an English playwright, screenwriter, actor, and entrepreneur, who is regarded as one of the most influential figures in post-war theatre. Born in London, he briefly worked as a journalist before starting out in theatre as a stage manager and actor. He lived in poverty for several years before his third produced play, Look Back in Anger (1956), brought him national fame.
