In 1956, John Osborne shook up the British theater scene with his drama Look Back in Anger, a critique of society involving a realistic romantic triangle complicated by social tensions (one lover comes from an upper-class background, the other has working-class roots). This 60th anniversary revival, staged by EMH Productions and directed by E.M. Hodge, includes live music by Clifford Childers and Aaron Smith and features Dan Fagan and Elyse Sharp and veteran Loren Taylor in the cast. 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday; $20. Geery Theatre, 2130 L Street; (916) 214.6255; http://emhpros.weebly.com.
