Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson star in this production of one of the great classics of post-war British drama. The play's protagonist is Jimmy Porter, who, as a child, watched his father die poor and alone and has grown up to be an angry young man who despises the establishment and vents his bitterness and frustration on his wife and her upper-class background. The playwright himself hailed Kenneth Branagh as "the best Jimmy Porter ever." Emma Thompson plays the wife who must be made to feel pain equal to Jimmy's so that their marriage can survive. |
