    • 2014, John Elsom, Post-War British Theatre (page 75)
      Class may have been a barrier to widespread appreciation of the theatre, particularly in the West End, but Look Back in Anger was scarcely the chief battering ram against it. Jimmy is snobbish in his tastes, more of an Aunt Edna than Alison.
