Look Back in Anger by John Osborne

challenging dark reflective sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

It's a well written play and you'll enjoy reading it if you're into:
- toxic relationships
- pretentious white men who are well-educated but possess the emotional intelligence of a rock
- complaining all the time about not reaching one's potential and guilt-tripping everyone else for not behaving like a pretentious twat
- viciousness and so, so much anger

I really wished the roles were reversed and waited for Alison to turn into a destructive bear and yeet Jimmy the scared, silly squirrel out the window after the first act.
