A Taste of Honey July 4, 2008

Set in 1950s Manchester, England, Shelagh Delaney's poignant and comic play tells the story of Jo, a shy adolescent chafing against the constraints of her working class life. When her mother abandons Jo to take up with a much younger man, Jo falls prey to difficult circumstances and gets pregnant. However, she creates her own sort of family with gay art student Geoffrey. The two settle into tentative peace and happiness-until Helen's unexpected reappearance threatens to throw Jo's life back into upheaval.
