Survival in a desolate area of the Andes for a party of wealthy young Uruguayan rugby players meant eating their dead friends. Some 72 days after the plane crash which had stranded them, two exhausted men came back telling just how 16 had stayed alive.

Look Back In Anger with John Osborne and Richard Burton
Kenneth Haigh , Tony Richardson Kenneth Tynan , Mary Ure
On 8 May 1956, Look Back In Anger was first produced in London. This play, about a working-class intellectual, changed the face of English drama. Many of the people involved with the original stage and film productions talk about the impact and the lasting appeal of a work which author John Osborne describes as ' three people tearing each other to pieces in a room.'
