Lesley Sharp leads the cast in this gritty depiction of working-class life in post-war Britain.
When her mother Helen runs off with a car salesman, feisty teenager Jo takes up with Jimmie, a sailor who promises to marry her, before he heads for the seas. Art student Geof moves in and assumes the role of a surrogate parent until, misguidedly, he sends for Helen and their unconventional setup unravels.
Performed 8 January — 5 April 2014 in the Lyttelton Theatre.
