A Taste of Honey is the first play by British dramatist Shelagh Delaney, written at the age of 18. Initially intended as a novel, she created the work into a play because she hoped to revitalize British theatre to confront and address social issues not being presented. The play was first produced by Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop, and it premiered at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, a small fringe theatre in London on May 27, 1958. The production then transferred to the larger and more renowned Wyndham's Theatre in the West End on February 10, 1959.
