It's 1958. Beatie Bryant has been to London and fallen in love with
Ronnie, a young socialist. As she anxiously awaits his arrival to
meet her family at their Norfolk farm, her head is swimming with
new ideas. Ideas of a bolder, freer world which promise to clash
with their rural way of life. Roots is the remarkable centrepiece
of Wesker's seminal post-war trilogy. It was first performed in
1959 at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, before transferring to the
Royal Court. It is the second play in a trilogy comprising Chicken
Soup with Barley and I'm Talking About Jerusalem. It went on to
transfer to the Duke of York's Theatre in the West End. A true
classic, Roots is an affecting portrait of a young woman finding
her voice at a time of unprecedented social change. This Modern
Classic edition features an introduction by Glenda Leeming.
