Anger undiminished
IWMI
John Osborne’s play "Look Back in Anger” in 1956 changed the whole world of theatre, not only in Britain but also in many other parts of the world. This. English dramatist went on to write many more successful plays. Now he has written what he says is his most difficult undertaking, his autobiography. The first part, entitled “A Better Class of Person," has just been published and the critics have been saying that 1 Osborne’s
anger has not diminished with the years. In the book he takes a frank, and some would say bitter, look back at his childhood and his family. On the radio Concert Programme at 7 o’clock tonight, Osborne tells how this first volume ends with the momentous production of his first play.
