Now established as a modern classic, A Taste of Honey began life as a novel and became a sensational theatrical success when first produced in London by Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop Company in 1958. Set in Salford, the play tells the story of adolescent Jo and her relationships with those about her - her irresponsible, roving mother Helen, her mum's newly acquired drunken husband, the black sailor who leaves her pregnant and Geoffrey the homosexual art student who moves in to help with the baby. The play was made into a highly acclaimed film in 1961.
