The first of eight programmes. Tonight Bernard Levin talks to John Osborne
It is 25 years since JOHN OSBORNE 'S Look Back in Anger was acclaimed as a ' minor miracle', full of ' qualities one had despaired of ever seeing on the stage '.
(KENNETH TYNAN )
From this beginning as the ' angry young man', Osborne's contribution to the theatre has spanned a quarter of a century and over two dozen plays. Tonight he looks back with BERNARD LEVIN , who on separate occasions has said of his work: original, symbolic, subtle, dignified, profound ', ' ... a ramshackle, top-heavy and profoundly unsatisfying play'.
