Drama Review – D H Lawrence – The Widowing Of Mrs Holroyd
March 29, 2015 | Posted in AUTHORS | By Arthur Chappell
It is a story of a tragedy in a Midlands mining community. Mrs Holroyd’s husband is a coal-miner, a brute and a womaniser. His own children report that he has been seen again dancing with women of loose morals at a local inn instead of coming home. Act one closes when he even brings two of the dancing girls home, right in front of Mrs Holroyd, who desperately struggles to get them to leave.
