Synopsis
Living in a filthy tenement bedsitter, 17-year-old Jo is deserted by her nagging peroxided mother, Helen, who is unaware that her daughter is pregnant by a black sailor.
To soothe, clean and cook for Jo is Geoff, an effeminate art student, with whom she makes a temporary home. Bruised by insensitivity and rejection, the boy and girl find a very real comfort in each other.
A stunning portrayal of the complex bond between a mother and daughter, who – despite their sharp bickering – are both holding on for that taste of honey. This iconic play is a sharply observed portrait of working-class life in Salford in the late 1950s.
