“Look back in Anger” tells the story of a young couple who struggle to cope with class conflicts and navigate a declining marriage in England's ’50s. Alison comes from a high-class family, while Jimmy, though well-educated, has roots in the working class. The conflict between the two social universes has a profound impact on their relationship. The show explores themes such as social divisions, personal frustrations, and communication difficulties in a marriage where love and resentment coexist. The drama emphasizes the challenges posed by social status and cultural expectations, reflecting the complexity of human relationships in the historical context of the era.

A fresh and magnetic revisiting of an iconic text.
