Abstract	This study explores the fundamental themes of despair and disillusionment present in selected plays of John Osborne, a key figure in the Angry Young Man" movement in post-World War II Britain. The study aims to explore the disillusionment and despair in six plays, “Look Back in Anger,” “The Entertainer,” “The World of Paul Slickey,” “Inadmissible Evidence,” “A Patriot for Me,” and “The Hotel in Amsterdam”. Through a comprehensive literary analysis, this research elucidates how Osborne's characters embody the pervasive disillusionment of their era and examines the broader sociopolitical commentary embedded in his works. The results highlight the enduring relevance of Osborne's plays in both theatrical and sociocultural contexts, offering insightful perspectives on the human condition and the changing dynamics of post-war British society.
