具体描述

A sensational theatrical success in London, A Taste of Honey was written by Shelagh Delaney at the age of 18. The play prompted Graham Greene to say that it had "all the freshness of Mr. Osborne's Look Back In Anger and a greater maturity." A Taste of Honey won Miss Delaney two national awards, the sale of film rights productions at Stratford, London, and Paris, and a round of applause from the critics. The play is the story of a working-class, adolescent girl and her relationships with the Black sailor who makes her pregnant; the homosexual art student who moves into her apartment to help her through her pregnancy; her fun-loving, saloon-frequenting mother; and Peter, her mother's newly acquired husband. Jo moves, in a very detached way, within this economic and emotional whirlpool. Miss Delaney translates these emo-tionally charged situations into a non-sentimental and realistic play.

特别喜欢老师在课上对于幽默的一个comment，大意是Humor is also a part of life. Working class 不是只要来让大家pity的。We don't laugh at them, but with them. 但是对于Gref竟然跟Jo说了两次what if I start the thing！！我真的是拒绝的。 最后超级推荐bloomsbury的student edition，有很多notes还有commentary.
