OSBORNE, PINTER & CO: POST-WAR BRITISH THEATRE
A lecture by Giles Ramsay
In 1956 British theatre audiences heard a harsh new voice in John Osborne’s play “Look Back in Anger”. Within two years Pinter’s extraordinary play “The Birthday Party” had opened and split the critics and the public alike. Then along came Joe Orton, Edward Bond and Tom Stoppard. A revolution was taking place and its artistic aftermath can be felt to the present day.
