Description

First performed in 1959 at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, and later transferred to the Royal Court, Roots is a powerful portrayal of a young woman finding her voice during a time of great social change. This affecting play explores Beatie Bryant's journey as she navigates her relationships and ideas with those around her.

Roots was part of a trilogy that also included Chicken Soup with Barley and I'm Talking About Jerusalem, and it went on to transfer to the Duke of York's Theatre in the West End. This Modern Classic edition features an introduction by Glenda Leeming.

A seminal work of post-war theatre, Roots remains a thought-provoking exploration of identity, community, and the power of individual expression.
