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.

Description
Born to an impoverished family in 1633, Samuel Pepys rose above his class to become a member of Parliament. In his diaries, which today exist as one of the most comprehensive records of Elizabethan society, he captures such remarkably moments in history such as the Great London Fire and the Black Death. Join Thick House as the diary comes to life onstage and a long-past era is reawakened in this world premiere play. Part of Thick Description's 2005 Presenting Program.
