LOOK BACK IN ANGER Adelaide Repertory Theatre The Arts Theatre Drama -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2019 -- Written By: John Osborne Directed By: Lesley Reed John Osborne’s powerful and gut-wrenching 1956 play Look Back in Anger was initially seen as ground-breaking and was met with a mix of acclaim and outrage. Its multiple themes are still as relevant today. It is the mid 1950s and highly intelligent but working class and under-employed, Jimmy Porter rages against his life in an English Midlands city. He endures a volatile, poverty-affected existence with his upper-middle class wife, Alison, in the dingy attic room of a Victorian-era boarding house. The marriage is not one of which Alison’s socially aware parents approve. Welsh friend and workmate, Cliff Lewis lives in the same boarding house and spends a lot of time with the couple. He often acts as peacemaker between them. When Alison’s sophisticated friend, Helena Charles comes to stay, she is the catalyst for explosive events and revelations that will change all their lives. But emotional dependence is a powerful force… “Compelling…”-The Times. “Powerful theatre…”-The Independent. “You could feel the shockwaves ripple through the audience...”-What’s On Stage. “Relevant today…hurls us into a psychosocial perfect storm…”-thesidebalcony Performance Dates: -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2019 -- Thu 29 Aug at 8pm Fri 30 Aug at 8pm Sat 31 Aug at 8pm Wed 4 Sep at 8pm Thu 5 Sep at 8pm Fri 6 Sep at 8pm Sat 7 Sep at 2pm Sat 7 Sep at 8pm Venue: The ARTS Theatre, 53 Angas Street, Adelaide Bookings: -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2019 -- www.adelaiderep.com or Ph 8212 5777 Pricing: Adults $22 Concession & Students $17 Group of 10 $15 Group of 20 $12
