A rehearsed reading of Shelagh Delaney’s lesser-known follow up to A Taste of Honey. In this 1960 play, a multigenerational immigrant family, living and working in Salford, ask: “What makes a happy life?”. As the younger generation begins to fly the nest, their parents struggle to accept the confines of their lives.
