Look Back In Anger - 1989 - 6/10

Jimmy, educated working class, runs a sweets shop and lives in a cheap attic flat with his wife.
His wife, Helena, middle class, with better family, friends and connections, endures his tirades.
And my God, what tirades they are!
The self-satisfied middle class (of which he is not a member), Helena’s family, the newspaper, church bells.
On and on, though increasingly, he unleashes his fury onto his wife, a passive, stoical doormat.
This is a one set play, and Kenneth Branagh’s Jimmy is a resentful, hate spewing force.
While well acted, Jimmy’s wallowing pity party grows tedious at times.
