‘It’s chaotic – a bit of love, a bit of lust and there you are. We don’t ask for life, we have it thrust upon is’

Jo is 16 and fearless. Her boyfriend’s at sea, her mother’s gone AWOL and her due date is just around the corner. The only person she can rely on is herself. But with Geof, her new flatmate, by her side, this feisty teenager is about to take on the world.

Set in 1950s Manchester and exploring Britain on the precipice of change, A Taste of Honey celebrates the spirit of one young girl with the strength to rebel against the social constraints of her time.

A seminal first play by the late Shelagh Delaney. This brand new production – the first since the writer’s death last year – features a live jazz trio on stage and is directed by Polly Findlay.
