'Look Back in Anger' presents post-war youth as it really is: the drift towards anarchy, the instinctive leftishness, the automatic rejection of 'official' attitudes, the surrealist sense of humour, the casual promiscuity, the sense of lacking a crusade worth fighting for and, underlying all these, the determination that no one who dies shall go unmourned. 'Look Back in Anger' was first performed at London's Royal Court Theatre in May 1956.
