Who wrote 'don't look back in anger'?

Answer 1

I'm assuming that you are referring to the play, 'Look back in Anger' written by the English writer John Osborne and which was probably one of the most important plays of the mid 20th century.
Unlike other plays that had been written till then, it is neither about war, nor is it a piece of meaningless froth whose characters are rich or part of the ruling class.
In other words, it's about 'ordinary' people living 'ordinary' lives. It's central character is a mean and moody arrogant piece of work called 'Jimmy Porter' who lives with his long suffering girlfriend Alison in a pokey flat.

Most of the action takes place in their flat on a wet Sunday, giving rise to a new type of dramatic genre, the Kitchen Sink Drama.

It sounds dreary, and in the wrong hands, it is. However, if you're up for it, try and get hold of a copy of the BLACK AND WHITE FILM, made in 1958 and starring Richard Burton. Stick with it and I promise you won't be disappointed.
