Roots by Arnold Wesker
Beatie returns for a holiday to her fenland farm home trying to impose on her stolid family the ideas of a young Jewish intellectual, Ronnie, whom she believes will marry her. But, awaiting his arrival, slowly Beatie realizes he will never come and her famous final speech exults that Ronnie has taught her independence and how to free herself from him.4 women, 5 menIn 2006, Arnold Wesker F.R.S.L was knighted for his services to drama.
