John Osborne‘s realist play LOOK BACK IN ANGER is playing at the Almeida Theatre for a limited run this autumn!
You see, I learnt at an early age what it was to be angry – angry and helpless. And I can never forget it.
Former Almeida Resident Director Atri Banerjee (The Glass Menagerie) directs Billy Howle (The Perfect Couple) and Ellora Torchia (Midsommar) in a new production of John Osborne’s ground-breaking, furious play which, alongside Arnold Wesker’s Roots, changed British theatre forever. Now the mirror they held up to 1950s society is angled towards 2024, with the two plays running alongside each other in repertory for 11 weeks, as part of the Almeida’s Angry and Young season.
