Look back in anger<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

– \u00a0by John Osborne \"\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Our next production is the classic tale of love across the class divide. LOOK BACK IN ANGER<\/strong> by John Osborne written in 1956 changed the face of British theatre forever. In the play Jimmy Porter looks back\u00a0because\u00a0he has so little incentive to look ahead. The characters are often cruel, but also vibrant. In Jimmy Porter’s boiling resentment at not being able to find himself in his own generation, he makes life impossible for those he most cherishes. England is not\u00a0necessarily\u00a0the country\u00a0may\u00a0people imagine it to be, as it might have been in some distant past. Many\u00a0romanticize\u00a0about its history and its heritage as Jimmy Porter does by\u00a0looking back in anger.<\/strong> Its relevance and resonance today with England trying to define its identity as Britain hurtles towards Brexit is uncannily on the ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
