Initially dividing the critics - some of whom regarded it as 'immature' - it went on to become one of the most defining plays of the twentieth century.  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Student Edition contains a commentary by Hannah Simpson, Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, UK, which explores the following themes in relation to the play:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- gender roles\u003cbr\u003e- homosexuality\u003cbr\u003e- race\u003cbr\u003e- class\u003cbr\u003e- youth\u003cbr\u003e- 1950s notions of family\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, it looks at the play's production history, different ways it has been staged, and critical reception; the form of the kitchen-sink and drawing-room drama and to what extent the play conforms or disrupts these models; 1950s Britain and what it was like; and the play's ambiguous ending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShelagh Delaney\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Salford, Lancashire.
