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.

About the Ticket Supplier: Thick Description
Thick Description's name is an anthropological term, referring to the fact that when anyone describes an event, they interpret it as well. They produce and present fresh, new performances that draw upon the rich diversity of Bay Area theatrical talent. Founded in New York City in 1988, Thick Description is one of the smallest fully professional theaters in the country, receiving three Glickman Awards since 1994 for the best new play to premiere in the San Francisco Bay Area. The company's home is the Thick House on Potrero Hill; more than 60,000 people have passed through our doors since we opened the Thick House at the end of 1999.
