The Royal Court Theatre stands as the definitive writers' theatre in the United Kingdom. Its modern identity began in 1956 when artistic director George Devine took out a newspaper advertisement calling for new scripts. From over 700 submissions, he chose to premiere John Osborne's Look Back in Anger, a play that shattered the conventions of the era and is now recognized as the spark that ignited modern British drama.
