Look Back in Anger is a powerful play first performed in London in 1956. It depicts the despair of post-war youth, capturing the frustration and bitterness of its protagonist, Jimmy Porter. Living in a drab flat with his middle-class wife Alison, Jimmy's life is marked by a sense of disillusionment.

The play explores the dynamics of their relationship and the arrival of Alison's friend Helen, who persuades Alison to leave only to fall for Jimmy herself. As the story unfolds, themes of love, betrayal, and societal constraints are vividly portrayed.

This work was a milestone in theater history, marking the rise of the 'angry young men' movement and challenging the norms of its time with its raw emotional intensity.
