‘Look Back in Anger’ is one of the few works of drama that are indisputably central to British culture in general, and its name is one of the most well-known in postwar cultural history. Its premiere in 1956 sparked off the first ‘new wave’ of kitchen-sink drama and the cultural phenomenon of the Angry Young Man. The play’s anti-hero, Jimmy Porter, became the spokesman of a generation.

Osborne’s play is a key milestone in ‘new writing’ for British theatre, and the Royal Court – which produced the play – has since become one of the most important new writing theatres in the UK.This guide provides a comprehensive critical introduction to the play, giving students an overview of the background and context; detailed analysis of the play’s structure, style, characters etc; analysis of key production issues and choices; overview of the performance history from the 1956 Royal Court premiere to recent revivals; and an annotated guide to further reading highlighting key critical approaches.It offers accessible, informative critical introductions to modern plays for students in both TheatrePerformance Studies and English. Offering up-to-date coverage of a broad range of key plays throughout modern drama, the guides include accounts of performance history, production analysis, screen adaptations and summaries of important critical approaches and debates.
