Look back in Anger and Trainspotting -What are the issues and attitudes described in each piece? Look Back in Anger Playwright John Osborne’s ‘kitchen-sink’ drama was one of many new British plays post World War ii in which social-protest won preference over action. The new plays were a lifetime away from the sometimes boring and predictable ‘drawing room’ comedies of years gone and explored the darker side of human nature and as such provoked much controversy. The issues and attitudes of this play go to the core of modern day society and in order to examine these various issues within post-war Britain Osborne presents the audience with Jimmy Porter, an archetypal "angry young man" who is a university graduate living with his wife Allison in squalor. Osborne highlights their disgust Jimmy feels towards society, the upper classes, the State, the Church and everything else that he sees as governed by hypocrisy.
