Look Back in Anger (1957). The John
Osborne play served as America's introduction to the new postwar school of British playwrights known as “the angry young men.” The drama focuses on the raging discontent of Jimmy Porter, a working class Brit, and on his tortured relations with his wife and his best friend. The play was first produced in New York by David
Merrick at the
Lyceum Theatre in 1957, and ran for 407 performances. Kenneth Haigh, Mary Ure, and Alan Bates were the original leads. Many critics pointed out that America long had had drama of strident social protest, so that the new English school did not seem so really new. However, it soon became evident that these English playwrights did bring about a subtle change in protest plays in that the expression of the anger and not its actual causes frequently became central to the play. A popular revival at the
Roundabout Theatre in 1980 featured Malcolm McDowell, Lisa Banes, and Raymond Hardie.
