Recenzii

'Some of Delaney's themes may feel dated but her writing still glitters dangerously and wittily. A Taste of Honey remains a passionate statement about real people trapped in poverty, deprived of ambition and vulnerable to manipulation by the fickleness of others.'
'Brawling, boozing, teenage pregnancy and fractured families: Shelagh Delaney's benchmark drama, first staged by Joan Littlewood in London in 1958, has lost none of its relevance 50 years on... The quirkiness and passion of Delaney's young voice still rings out... It remains passionate and pungent.'
'Its raw eloquence, sometimes almost lyrical, its tough, swaggering humour...its frank brutality and unblinking humanity.'
Delaney's achievement was to write, with comic vividness, about the world she knew . . . the tone is often raucously comic, and the final message is of the human spirit's capacity for survival.
The inimitability of a classic ... A Taste of Honey hits the sweet spot all over again.
Delaney's play was not just wise and accomplished for a girl of eighteen. It is wise and accomplished, full stop.
The real genius of Delaney's work is in how it anticipates the future realities of late 20th-century Britain ... themes which have yet to be fully accepted by society.
