In 1956 John Osborne's Look Back in Anger changed the course of
English theatre. 'Look Back in Anger presents post-war youth as it
really is. To have done this at all would be a significant
achievement; to have done it in a first play is a minor miracle.
All the qualities are there, qualities one had despaired of ever
seeing on stage - the drift towards anarchy, the instinctive
leftishness, the automatic rejection of "official" attitudes, the
surrealist sense of humour... the casual promiscuity, the sense of
lacking a crusade worth fighting for and, underlying all these, the
determination that no one who dies shall go unmourned.' Kenneth
Tynan, Observer, 13 May 1956 'Look Back in Anger... has its
inarguable importance as the beginning of a revolution in the
British theatre, and as the central and most immediately
influential expression of the mood of its time, the mood of the
"angry young man".' John Russell Taylor
