The Acting

Helen Brew made a magnificent 'Helen' (the mother,) and in many ways stole the show. Jennifer Hogan, as Jo, was outstanding, though she seemed a little cold for the first few scenes.

Jo's Jamaican boyfriend was played by David Taylor, a sensitive actor, though somewhat restrained in this difficult part. Peter Vere-Jones, as Peter, Helen's drunken husband, gave some fine acting especially in Act II.

Robin Slessor, as the young homosexual, achieved a tremendous amount of freshness and originality in a part that is made difficult by its insignifience. His acting is unobtrusive, but very fine indeed.

Production by Ralph McAllister was tasteful, appropriate, and always artistic, with the result that "A Taste of Honey" was at least, a financial success.
