Callboard


For Jimmy Porter, there is nothing more criminal than the lack of emotion and enthusiasm he sees evident in his generation, especially in his well-born wife Alison and their roommate Cliff, who have grown addicted to Jimmy’s passion and rage. When Alison’s childhood friend Helena visits, she exposes the unsustainable madness of their relationships and living situation, forcing Alison to decide whether to leave the most exciting and dangerous man she’s ever known.


Still as shocking and relevant as when it fi rst premiered in postwar London, John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger is a sharply funny, fi ercely honest exploration of political disillusionment and basic human yearning.
