A Taste of Honey – On Her Shoulders Reading Series

Shelagh Delaney (Playwright) was one of the most innovative playwrights of the Twentieth Century. Her most celebrated play, A Taste of Honey, featured realistic characters who were working class, gay, black, northern & feminist in 1950s Britain, whose mainstream remained publicly repressed, hideously white and middle class. What is all the more remarkable is that she wrote this play when she was just 18.
