A Taste Of Honey de Elaine Aston

A Taste Of Honey: Student Editions

Editat de Elaine Aston, Glenda Leeming Autor Shelagh Delaney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2008
'Miss Delaney brings real people on to her stage... she is busy recording the wonder of life as she lives it' Kenneth Tynan, Observer
A Taste of Honey became a sensational theatrical success when first produced in London by Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop in 1958. Now established as a modern classic, this comic and poignant play, by a then nineteen-year-old working-class Lancashire girl, was praised at its London premiere by Graham Greene as having 'all the freshness of Mr Osborne's Look Back in Anger and a greater maturity.' It was made into a highly acclaimed film in 1962.
The play is about the adolescent Jo and her relationship with her irresponsible mum, Helen, the Nigerian sailor who leaves Jo pregnant and Geoffrey, the homosexual art student who moves in to help Jo with the baby. It is also about Jo's unshakeable optimism throughout her trials. This story of a mother and daughter relationship (imitated in many other modern British plays since), set in working-class Manchester, continues to engage new generations of audiences.

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.
