'A Taste of Honey' by Shelagh Delaney
Stamford Shoestring Theatre present 'A Taste of Honey' by Shelagh Delaney
Shelagh Delaney’s groundbreaking, darkly comic depiction of controversial social issues and prejudice shook British society when it first hit theatres. Its power remains today.
Salford, 1958. A comfortless flat where the relationship between Helen and daughter Jo is breaking down - reverberations felt far beyond the bed they must share.
Months pass, and Jo finds herself alone. Supported by her friend, Geoff, Jo attempts to navigate the uncertainties of life below the breadline.
But in seeking a better life, Jo discovers a powerful truth at the heart of working-class England: friendship, love and hope can be found in strange places.
This amateur production of “A Taste of Honey” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
