Redtwist Theatre Extends Run of LOOK BACK IN ANGER, Now Through Today

Redtwist Theatre extends run of LOOK BACK IN ANGER though June 28. LOOK BACK IN ANGER was written by John Osborne. This production was directed by Jonathan Berry.

PLAY
This is the post-war British drama that started it all, said it best, and influenced every British playwright who came after it. In the play, Jimmy Porter, a bright, educated young man of working-class roots, is railing incessantly against the status quo and the vestiges of the desiccated social strata of the Edwardian ethic. When his long-suffering, upper-middle-class wife, Alison, has had her fill of his diatribes, things explode in every direction. The teetering couple, estranged and in extremis, flanked by his best buddy and her best friend, realize that amidst the despair and anger, they have one last thing that may save their souls. This is the long-awaited revival of a post-war classic...directed by post-modern maestro, Jonathan Berry.
