"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.This guide provides
accessible, informative critical introductions to modern plays for
students in both Theatre/Performance 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.
