Description
A first edition, first printing published by The Grove Press in 1959. A near fine book without inscriptions in a very good clipped wrapper with a stain to the bottom of the spine
A British play by Shelagh Delaney, later adapted into a 1961 film. It follows Jo, a working-class teenager in Salford, who becomes pregnant after a brief romance with a Black sailor. Abandoned by her selfish mother, Jo finds support in her gay friend, Geoffrey. The play challenges social norms on race, gender, and sexuality, making it a landmark of British kitchen sink realism and an influential work in contemporary theatre.
