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 seems destined to destroy everything.

Set in the UK at the dawn of the 60's social unrest, this savage morality tale spawned the phrase "angry young man."

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring:

Steven Brand as Cliff

Moira Quirk as Alison

Simon Templeman as Jimmy

James Warwick as Colonel Redhorn

Joanne Whalley as Helena

Directed by Rosalind Ayres. Recorded by L.A. Theatre Works before a live audience at the James Bridges Theater, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television in March, 2012.
