The Hereford plays
Description
"The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd is one of D. H. Lawrence's most significant early works. Written immediately after Sons and Lovers, the play, Lawrence's first, is the alter ego of the story "Odour of Chrysanthemums" and, like the short story, deals with a catastrophe in the lives of a coal mining family. Drawing upon the intensity of events that unfold in the miner's kitchen, the play explores a marriage bowed under the weight of a husband's drinking and infidelity and peers into the strange, burgeoning relationship between the neglected wife, Mrs. Holroyd, and the young electrician in whom she seeks emotional refuge. First published in 1914, The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd is a bare tracing of the ways in which a marriage has gone wrong. In the end, the play shows how, through certain twists of fate, Mrs. Holroyd's alternative love interest turns out to be almost completely irrelevant."--BOOK JACKET.

When we are married

The happy celebrations are brought to a sudden halt by a shocking revelation - these pillars of the community aren't quite as respectably married as they thought they were. As the home truths fly like confetti and conjugal rites turn to farcical fights, an evening of sparkling comic mayhem erupts. With a photographer from the local paper due to arrive any second, a missing housekeeper and a doorbe.
