Look Back In Anger
Donation protected
WHY DONATE:
Thank you for taking a few moments of your time to read this message. Last year, I lost someone very close to me through cancer which was both humbling and inspiring. Our time here is precious and in the wake of my Uncle's death i'm motivated more than ever to create, challenge myself and push the boundaries of my comfort zone.
Being an Actor is all i've ever wanted to do... I've long admired John Osborne's work! So to be producing & starring in 'Look Back in Anger', here in New York City at the historical Gene Frankel theatre seems almost surreal to me.
One of the hardest things to do in life is to ask for help... I wish I could do this on my own but it's just not possible. Your generous donation will go towards covering production costs, rehearsal space and our lovely theatre.
In addition, I will be giving a percentage of all donations received to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Not only will your donation help with production, but will give back to this amazing hospital and families that need help the most. We also have added some fun incentives below to make YOU a part of this journey.
I hope to see you at the show!
Thank you - Ryan

PRODUCTION COSTS:
Between the deposit of the theatre, rehearsal space costs, wardrobe + props, we're already at $8,000. This is only a small fraction of the total budget once we take into account the cost of our insurance, compensation for our astonishing actors, the lovely theatre, set design, advertising -- from something as simple as lighting to our custom built set, things add up quick!
We have a strong, hardworking team that has been working day and night to make this happen, and every penny put into this production is worth it. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us!

Celtic Lion Productions will present a rare revival of LOOK BACK IN ANGER, John Osborne's searing portrayal of the savagery of the human heart. Called the "most vivid play of the decade" by the New York Times, the influence of Osborne's 1956 masterwork on generations of playwrights cannot be underestimated. It will be directed by Aimée Fortier who aims to highlight female characters that usually get downplayed and her youthful, age appropriate cast. Previews begin February 13 at The Gene Frankel Theatre. Opening is slated for Saturday, February 15.
LOOK BACK IN ANGER revolves around volatile malcontent Jimmy Porter, his long-suffering wife Alison, and the best friend who bears quiet witness to their tumultuous, deteriorating marriage. When one of Alison's friends comes to stay with them, the four fight each other, fall in and out of love, and release their pent-up rage towards the outside world. It is a searing look at class, sex, politics and the angry, alienated youth living on the margins.
LOOK BACK IN ANGER runs February 13 - 29, Wednesday – Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 2pm & 8pm and Sunday at 2pm. The Gene Frankel Theatre is located at 24 Bond Street, between Bowery and Lafayette -- accessible from B,D,F,M trains at Broadway/Lafayette or the #6 at Bleecker.
