His father died in 1941. Osborne used the proceeds from a life insurance settlement to send himself to Belmont College, a private boarding school. Osborne was expelled after only a few years for attacking the headmaster. He received a certificate of completion for his upper school work, but never attended a college or university. After returning home, Osborne worked several odd jobs before he found a niche in the theater. He began working with Anthony Creighton's provincial touring company where he was a stage hand, actor, and writer. Osborne co-wrote two plays -- The Devil Inside Him and Personal Enemy -- before writing and submittingLook Back in Anger for production. The play, written in a short period of only a few weeks, was summarily rejected by the agents and production companies to whom Osborne first submitted the play. It was eventually picked up by George Devine for production with his failing Royal Court Theater. Both Osborne and the Royal Court Theater were struggling to survive financially and both saw the production of Look Back in Anger as a risk.

David Forrest, University of Sheffield The British New Wave in cinema, which ran from 1958 to 1962, was built around the adaptation of a number of literary texts that derived their ‘newness’ by vocalising working-class protagonists, hitherto largely suppressed in popular visions of British society. As a knock-on-effect, British screen culture refreshed, suffering as it did from the same level of under-representation that blighted literature. In a wider context, the films’ freshness and vigour can also be seen to be identified in a new approach to film style and aesthetics which had more in common with the European art cinema than the staid traditions of British filmmaking.

  • Post War British Theatre
    Post War British Theatre by James Hansford English Association Bookmarks No. 11 English Association Bookmarks Number 11 Three Post-War British Plays by James Hansford BOOKS TO READ Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot (Faber, 1956) Edward Bond, Save (Methuen, 1965) Caryl Churchill, Top Girls (Methuen, 1982) NOTES Conventional studies of the period begin by noting two important productions of the mid- 1950s, Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger. Osborne’s drama (see also The Entertainer and Inadmissible Evidence), notwithstanding its monodramatic tendency, is essentially naturalistic, suppressing stage artifice and articulating a social consciousness which Arnold Wesker (Roots, Chips with Everything), Brendan Behan (The Hostage, The Quare Fellow) and John Arden (Serjeant Musgrave’s Dance, Armstrong’s Last Goodnight) have done much to refine and expand. By contrast Beckett’s work is ritualistic and meta-theatrical, an exploration of ‘inner space’ (see also Endgame, Happy Days, Play and Not) owing more to continental expressionism than to conventional representation, in whatever way it is ‘staged’. Samuel Beckett: Waiting for Godot Written in French and originally entitled Attendant, Waiting for Godot features two deracinated but sharply differentiated figures on a ‘country road’ awaiting, for an unspecified purpose, the arrival of a Mr Godot. By the end of the first act he has failed to appear and at the end of the play’s second and concluding act, Vladimir and Estragon are informed, by proxy once again,

The end of my study is marked by Margaret Thatcher’s consolidation of power in the early eighties and the 1982 Falklands War. My analysis focuses on how these plays represent forms of British national identity that developed during the era of Britain’s imperial strength and how they show these formations changing after World War II.

  • Saturday Night & Sunday Morning
    Saturday Night & Sunday Morning Director: Karel Reisz. UK, 1960. 89 min. Albert Finney, Shirley Anne Field, Rachel Roberts, Hylda Baker Nottingham writer Alan Sillitoe’s adaptation of his own novel is widely considered to be the most convincing of the British ‘angry young men’ dramas of the late Fifties/early Sixties. Middle-class Czech émigré and former documentary-maker Karel Reisz, directing his debut feature film on location in Nottingham and at Twickenham Studios, created an authentic atmosphere for his era-defining story of a restless British working-class youth. Salford-born bookie’s son Albert Finney – who won a scholarship to RADA where he was in the same class as Alan Bates, Tom Courtenay, Frank Finlay and Peter O’Toole - electrified audiences and critics alike with his charismatic lead role, his first after an apprenticeship in classical theatre and a small screen part in The Entertainer. Finney became a major star overnight, going on to earn the first of five unsuccessful Oscar nominations for 1963’s Tom Jones, having turned down the lead role in Lawrence of Arabia. Finney worked intensely in two periods at the National Theatre but rejected Laurence Olivier’s offer to succeed him as its head; he later also refused a knighthood, calling the honours system a way of “perpetuating snobbery.” He used his influence and money to back rising stars in the British film industry: co-producing Lindsay Anderson’s If…. (also shown by WFC), funding Mike Leigh’s first feature film, and giving Stephen Frears his movie-directing debut on Gumshoe, in which he starred.

  • Strategies of Political Theatre Post-War British Playwrights
    Cambridge University Press 0521258553 - Strategies of Political Theatre: Post-War British Playwrights Michael Patterson Frontmatter More information Strategies of Political Theatre Post-War British Playwrights This volume provides a theoretical framework for some of the most important playwriting in Britain in the second half of the twentieth century. Examining representative plays by Arnold Wesker,John Arden, Trevor Griffiths,Howard Barker,Howard Brenton,Edward Bond,David Hare,John McGrath and Caryl Churchill,the author analyses their respective strategies for persuading audiences of the need for a radical restructuring of society. The book begins with a discussion of the way that theatre has been used to convey a political message. Each chapter is then devoted to an exploration of the engagement with left-wing political theatre of an individual playwright,including a detailed analysis of one of their major plays. Despite political change since the 1980s,political playwriting continues to be a significant element in contemporary playwriting,but in a very changed form. michael patterson is Professor of Theatre at De Montfort University,Leicester. He is a major British authority on German theatre,especially twentieth-century political theatre in Germany. He is author of German Theatre Today; The Revolution in German Theatre 1900–1933; Peter Stein; The First German Theatre; and German Theatre: A Bibliography,and is editor of Georg B uchner:¨ Collected Plays.
