A Taste of Honey at the Epstein

Daniel Taylor Productions returns to Liverpool’s Epstein Theatre in October with a new production of the drama A Taste Of Honey.

Written by British dramatist Shelagh Delaney when she was just 18, it was considered one of the most influential plays of its generation and comes to the Hanover Street venue from October 9 to 13, marking 60 years since its première.

Telling the story of the turbulent relationship between mother and daughter, it will star Liverpool actress Sharon Byatt in the role of Helen.

Set in Salford in the 1950s, the plot centres around 17-year-old Jo who is desperate to break free from her man-hunting mother, Helen. Resilient and feisty, Jo's instinct for survival and happiness leads her to fall in love with Jimmy, a black sailor on shore leave.
