The 12th play in the "JAPAN MEETS...A Look at the Lineage of Contemporary Drama" series is John OSBORNE's "Look Back in Anger", which premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 1956. It is said to have been the first portrayal in British drama of working class society. Audiences were provoked by the raw frustration, dissatisfaction and anger at the once-glorious British Empire, now faltering internationally and economically in the 1950s, triggering the social phenomenon known as the "angry young men".
Directed by actor and director CHIBA Tetsuya and translated afresh by MIZUTANI Hachiya, well versed in the theme of this series through "Our Town" and "The Crucible", this play turns the spotlight on modern Japan with the question, "What is life?"
