"A Taste of Honey" is rather like a mirror that has fallen across a particularly sordid, cruel and outrageous section of real life. It reflects it, unbiased, uninhibited, and without anger.

A little after 8 p.m. on the 10th April, the concert chamber was thrown into complete darkness, while the tawdry but compelling music of Dave Brubeck etc. drummed its way noisily from the speakers.

An opening scene that might have been very effective was somewhat spoilt by Inaccurate lighting; and the atmosphere created by the urgent and vulgar call of the music, was lost utterly as the dialogue began. However, half-way through the First Act, the tension and turmoil started to rise again, as the "star" actress Jennifer Hogan gained possession of her part. From here on the audience found itself completely involved in the moods and problems of the real people on the stage.
