  1. Setting and Context Shelagh Delaney

  2. Who was Shelagh Delaney?

  3. Why did Delaney write A Taste of Honey?

  4. How has Shelagh Delaney's background influenced the play? • Many people assumed that the character of Jo was based on Shelagh Delaney herself. In fact, Delaney's secure childhood was very different from Jo's. However, there are similarities. Jo's drawings indicate a vague desire to be creative that mirrors Shelagh's ambition to write. They also share an impatience with school and an inability to stick at a job.

  5. How did people react to the play? • The play was an instant success with audiences. While many critics praised its freshness and authenticity, confirming that Delaney had succeeded in her ambition to put ordinary people on stage, some found the characters unpleasant. Some residents of Salford objected to her portrayal of their city. Delaney responded that her characters were not intended to be seen as typical or representative of the place.
