A great offer at the Gate for the first preview of the play that changed the face of British theatre in the 1950s.
The Gate Theatre was founded in 1928 by Hilton Edwards and Micheál MacLiammóir.It became internationally renowned as one of the most adventurous and far-sighted playhouses in Europe.
In this its 90th year, leading the Gate into its next chapter, Selina Cartmell Artistic Director of the Gate continues her inaugural season, ‘The Outsider’ which opened in July 2017, with the sold-out immersive production of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. This was followed by the Irish Premiere of Nina Raine’s Tribes and the World Premiere of The Red Shoes, by Hans Christian Andersen, in a new version by Dublin playwright Nancy Harris.
The fourth production in her season brings to the Gate the play that changed the face of British theatre through its blazing immediacy– John Osborne’s blistering 1950s play Look Back in Anger.
Look Back in Anger focuses on the life and marital struggles of Jimmy Porter, an intelligent, rebellious young man and his fight against the world. Its scorching attack on the stuffiness of 1950s England – tackles themes of sex, class, religion, politics, the media, and the sense of a country stifled by an official establishment culture.
Award-winning Director Annabelle Comyn takes a fresh look at this world-renowned play, at a time when class and gender politics are once again to the fore.
'Osborne didn’t contribute to British theatre: he set off a landmine called Look Back in Anger and blew most of it up' - Alan Sillitoe
