Kitchensink classic: Shelagh Delaney’s A Taste of Honey heads to the National Theatre
If you get a spare half hour, I really can't recommend enough catching Shelagh Delaney's Salford on YouTube. It will give you an insight into A Taste of Honey, which is getting a new revival from the National Theatre in London.
Angelheaded Hipsters display at the National Theatre
Fans of the Beat Generation should try to check out the new Angelheaded Hipsters display at the National Theatre, London.
The title for the show comes from Allen Ginsberg's infamous poem Howl and the display, organised by photographic agency Corbis, features prints made from images in Ginsberg's archive. Mainly snapshots taken in the early 50s, together they create a fascinating insight into the scene and feature images of the likes of Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs and Neal Cassady.
If that captures your interest, you may also be interested in an event the National Theatre is hosting on 19 Feb. Subtitled 'discovering the beat movement', poet Michael Horovitz and Barry Miles, co-founder of International Times and Ginsberg's biographer, have been invited along to discuss the lasting influence of the Beats.
The display is free, while the event costs £5.
