A Taste of Honey, a Play - Paperback

by Shelagh Delaney (Author)

A Taste of Honey tells the story of a working-class adolescent girl and her various relationships: the black sailor who gets her pregnant; the homosexual art student who moves into her apartment to help her through the pregnancy; her fun-loving and saloon-frequenting mother; and Peter, her mother's newly acquired husband.

A sensational theatrical success in London, A Taste Of Honey was written by Shelagh Delaney at the age of 18. The play prompted Graham Greene to say that it had 'all the freshness of Mr. Osborne's Look Back In Anger and a greater maturity.'
