About the author

John Osborne

The original Angry Young Man of British theater, Osborne's Look Back in Anger in 1956 transformed British drama by introducing working-class rage and anti-heroic protagonists. The play's premiere at the Royal Court Theatre is the pivotal event in postwar British theater history. He remained provocative and difficult throughout his career.
