RIP Shelagh Delaney - and thanks from Sweden! I watched the film A Taste of Honey with Rita Tushingham when it first arrived, and I never forgot it. I carried it with me through life.

Feminists owe her a big debt but then so does the average man who appreciates a smart and down to earth, earthy woman. It took a concerted group to create the sexual revolution and Shelagh work is the strongest effort waged in British theatre for certain. Nothing as yet has come along to properly take off where she let.
May Shelagh will continue to inspire. Bless her.

Shelagh - if you ever get to read this I was very touched by the recent repeat of your 1960 Monitor. So much of what you had to say could easily apply to nowadays half a century later! You were ahead of your time in your thinking. How are you nowadays? Shame we can't see some more of your broadcasts. All the best.
