A Taste of Honey (vintage)

Shelagh Delaney’s 'A Taste of Honey' exploded onto the Broadway stage at the Lyceum Theatre in 1960, running for an astonishing 376 performances and capturing multiple major Tony Award nominations following its historic West End triumph under the banner of Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop. Standing as an undisputed champion of 20th-century British naturalistic literature, the raw drama charts the complex domestic struggles and shifting emotional alliances that form between a working-class mother and her daughter, introducing themes of race and sexuality.
