Luther is a celebrated 1961 three-act historical play written by British playwright John Osborne, which offers a gripping psychological study of Martin Luther, the 16th-century theologian who catalyzed the Protestant Reformation. Moving away from his contemporary "Angry Young Men" roots, Osborne framed Luther as an archetypal rebel, deeply examining his internal spiritual torments, physical ailments, and defiance against the Roman Catholic Church. The play was a critical triumph, winning the 1964 Tony Award for Best Play after its successful West End and Broadway runs.
