Look Back in Anger

by John Osborne

Blurb

Look Back in Anger is a play by John Osborne. It concerns a love triangle involving an intelligent and educated but disaffected young man of working-class origin, his upper-middle-class, impassive wife, and her haughty best friend. Cliff, an amiable Welsh lodger, attempts to keep the peace. The play was a success on the London stage, and spawned the term "angry young men" to describe Osborne and those of his generation who employed the harshness of realism in the theatre in contrast to the more escapist theatre that characterized the previous generation.
