The play is about an angry young man, Jimmy Porter, who looks back because he has so little incentive to look ahead. In Jimmy Porter’s boiling resentment at not being able to find himself in his own generation, he makes life impossible for those he most cherishes. Living with Jimmy in a poor attic apartment is his wife, Alison. A friend, Cliff, is a no-man’s land upon which some of their pain can be visited.
