Roots by ARNOLD WESKER with Mary Miller and Marjorie Westbury
Beatie cries despairingly, I ent got no roots.... Roots! The things you come from, the things that feed you. The things that make you proud of yourself ... ' but at last finds strength and courage to break through to self-realisation.
The action takes place in 1957 in Norfolk, first in the Beales cottage, and later in the Bryants. Producer CHARLES LEFEAUX
