Set in 1960s Manchester, England, this poignant and comic play tells the story of Jo, a shy 17-year-old chafing against the constraints of her life in a working-class slum and the demands of her selfish, irresponsible mother, Helen. Helen soon deserts her daughter for a lover, but the tenacious Jo navigates romance, heartbreak, and poverty, never losing her sense of humor and optimism. Shelagh Delaney's first play was considered controversial in its time for its racial and sexual themes, but its powerful evocation of mid-century British life has made it an enduring masterpiece.

A good one-act play, but hardly worth going all the way into the city for only 67 minutes of production. Should have been done in conjunction with another 1-act play.Written on Feb 13 2006

Good mix of emotional moments, not too low and pleasantly funny.Written on Mar 13 2006
I thought the characters played well off each other.
The story line was a little hard to follow (for me) with the introduction of so many characters and the actors switching roles.
I was very entertained in a short period of time.
Great job!
