Saturday Night and Sunday Morning is a new exhibition inspired by Alan Sillitoe’s groundbreaking novel and the film adaptation directed by Karel Reisz.
First published in 1958, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning ‘helped frame its cultural moment’.

The novel appeared at the time of a spate of accounts of urban working-class life by academics, playwrights, novelists and documentary filmmakers. More →
