Angry Young Men – a group of writers of the middle and late 1950s that expressed their rage at class

distinctions, their scorn at the socio-political order of the country, their dislike at the “phoney” that posed as
highbrows, their resentment towards the hypocrisy and mediocrity of the upper classes and that would
plead for a coming out of the routine of daily life. Disillusioned and discontented, they strongly opposed the
rules of Establishment and the bourgeoisie ethic. Their attempt to spread their enthusiasm and animation in
the world around resulted in plays that seem to be the outburst of uninhibited thought and language in a
décor that seemed trivially familiar. (Suciu, Andreia, Contemporary English Drama (J. Osborne, H. Pinter, S.
Beckett), EDitura "Alma Mater", Bacau, 2010, p. 85)
