Look Back In Anger is set in 1956. Jimmy Porter (Brandon Walker), a well-educated man, ekes out a living running a sweet stall and spends his free time railing against the class system, which he believes has sucked the life out of living. His wife, Alison (Anna Marie Sell) is pregnant, but has not yet broken the news to Jimmy. Their neighbor, Cliff (Adam Reich), has developed a growing interest in Alison and spends most of his time in their attic flat in the English Midlands. Alison invites her childhood friend, Helena (Keenan Caldwell), to stay with them even though Jimmy can't stand her.

Jimmy knows something is wrong and, although Cliff does his best to keep the peace, tensions in the household escalate. As Alison tries to decide what to do about the baby, Helena enlists the help of the Alison's family-and even the church-to pry her loose from Jimmy, who steps further into his role as the original Angry Young Man every minute. Alison's father (Rick Delaney) comes to take his daughter away while Jimmy is out of town, comforting his surrogate mother on her deathbed. Jimmy comes home to find Helena waiting with baited breath, and all hell breaks loose.

The Seeing Place is a base for disciplined artists to develop theater we all want to believe in. We are working to create a pure ensemble, committed to forceful storytelling that discovers and expresses real behavior in this day and age. Beginning in the fall of 2009, The Seeing Place has presented Keith Bunin's The Credeaux Canvas, Hogan Gorman's Hot Cripple, the World Premiere of Brandon Walker's When We Have Gone Astray, and Clifford Odets' Waiting for Lefty.
