Shelagh Delaney rose to fame following the instant success in 1958
of her first play A Taste of Honey. Lauded as Britain's answer to
the controversial French novelist Francoise Sagan, Delaney's work
scandalised her home city of Salford but established her as one of
the country's most original and exhilarating young playwrights
during a period in theatre history when women writers were rare and
acceptance hard to achieve. Delaney has served as an inspiration to
countless young artists down the succeeding years. Rock star
Morrissey wrote, 'She has always been a part of my life as a
perfect example of how to get up and get out and do it.' Novelist
Jeanette Winterson claimed, 'She was like a lighthouse - pointing
the way and warning about the rocks underneath.' Sweetly Sings
Delaney is the story of her first exciting decade as a writer when
she not only produced challenging and dramatic work in prose and on
stage but also collaborated with some of the most innovative film
and documentarymakers of the decade such as Ken Russell, Tony
Richardson, Lindsay Anderson, not to mention actor and fellow
Salfordian Albert Finney during his first and only foray as a film
director.
