"Taste of Honey"

This is a series of assignment booklets on established plays recommended by the range of GCSE examining boards. Standing independently of the text to which it relates, each booklet explores a well-known play through an informal but developing pattern of plot, character, theme, language and theatre. This book aims to offer an accessible introduction to the study of this text, and prose and poetry from various sources are used as a means of providing insights into the play. The activities include discussion, written work, role play and aspects of staging and publicizing and are suitable for a wide range of abilities. Students are encouraged to relate the events and themes of this play both to its period and to modern concerns.
