Discovering your dream podcast and knowing you’ll spend Christmas with your headphones glued to your head catching up on all the episodes thus far
Delighted to make my third appearance on The Play Podcast talking about the wonderful, horrible, great and dangerous classic: Look Back in Anger by John Osborne.
"You didn't expect them to like it did you?!" director Tony Richardson to John Osborne on the critics' response to Look Back in Anger in 1956. @danrebellato.bsky.social and director Atri Banerjee reassess the anger in our new episode: www.theplaypodcast.com/087-look-bac...
