Jimmy Porter and his wife Alison live in a dingy Midlands attic bedsit. It is 1956 and the world is changing. With the arrival of Helena, Alison's challenging actress friend, Jimmy's anger with the world around him seems fit to burst. As Alison reaches breaking point with her husband's constant attacks, she faces a decision which will change their relationship forever.

In 1956, John Osborne's Look Back in Anger changed the course of English theatre. It was recently voted the fourth most significant play of the last century and has its place as one of the most revolutionary and influential classics of our time. Look Back in Anger is an emotional, politically charged drama which still seems fresh today.
