John Osborne's Look Back in Anger e-bog

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 "e;new wave"e; 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 "e;new writing"e; 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.
