A play about the rootless youth in the jungle of the modern city, which marked an important step in the movement initiated by Beckett with ''[[Waiting for Godot]]''.  Set in a cockney neighborhood of London, it combines realism, mysticism, music, dance, and ritual to create a powerful, feminist myth about modern civilization.

 A prize-winner in the 1956  playwright’s competition by ''The Observer'',  it was first staged by the Royal Court Theatre in 1958 and directed by George Devine and Jellicoe. Although originally a commercial failure, the play was later performed all over the world in many different languages.  Jellicoe revised the original 1958 version in 1962 to create a better play.
