About this listen
Jimmy Porter barely ekes out a living running a candy stall by day and playing jazz trumpet by night. Although he usually takes his frustrations out on his emotionless wife, Jimmy's scathing tongue and self-loathing seem destined to destroy everything. Set in the UK at the dawn of the '60s social unrest, this savage morality tale spawned the phrase “angry young man".
Original music performed by Elliott Caine on the trumpet.
Includes an interview with Dan Rebellato, author of 1956 and All That: The Making of Modern British Drama.
Recorded in Los Angeles before a live audience at The James Bridges Theater, UCLA, in March of 2012.

Spitting out insults and barbs and using words that cut like knives, British actor Simon Templeman takes to the theater and consumes the pivotal role of Jimmy Porter in this live production of John Osborne's 1956 critically acclaimed and groundbreaking examination of the emotional isolation of post-WWII England. As Jimmy's wife, Alison, Moira Quirk's level, nuanced upper-class intonation and accent are the perfect foil. Every time she sounds understanding or affected by her husband, it drives him to newer, more vicious tirades against all those around him. Don't be surprised about how this performance sticks with you. Uncompromising and startling theater at its best.

Made my life easier
I had to study this play as a part of a course on Gender and Literature.This audiobook quality is superior compared to other free audiobooks available on librivox project.
The actors have a great job in this audiobook. It amazes me how much can be expressed just by voice by an actor.

A few omissions
There are certain lines that are skipped by the actors. Except for that, everything is great. You get lost in the narration. The story is great as well.
