SUMMARY:BOOKS ON TYNE | The Newcastle Book Festival:  ZOOM TALK on Shelagh Delaney by Selina Todd
DESCRIPTION:In 1958\, Shelagh Delaney\, a working-class teenager from Salford\, became famous when her debut play\, ‘A Taste of Honey’\, was staged in London. The play tackled taboo subjects like homosexuality and mixed race relationships. \nAgainst the contemptuous predictions of London’s critics\, it became a box office sellout. In this talk\, Delaney’s biographer\, historian Selina Todd\, explores the impact of ‘A Taste of Honey’\, what happened to Delaney\, and what her story tells us about class\, culture and women’s lives in modern Britain. \nHer biography ‘Tastes of Honey: Shelagh Delaney and Cultural Revolution’ was described by Ken Loach as ‘brilliant’. \nTo book your place go to www.booksontyne.co.uk \nNewcastle Libraries
