- Synopsis:
- It seems fitting that theatre's protesting, angry young man John Osborne (Look Back In Anger, The Entertainer) should write a play about one of history's social revolutionaries, and father Protestantism, Martin Luther. Luther was the ideological firebrand in the 16th century who challenged the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and what he saw as Papal excesses. Using this historical character, Osborne gives us a psychological insight into rebellion, both spiritually and politically, which is still relevant today.
