D.H. Lawrence is infamous for his provocative novels like Lady Chatterley's Lover and The Rainbow, but he also wrote eight plays. The Widowing Of Mrs. Holroyd, set in an English coal-mining town during the Industrial Revolution, is a bleak drama about the disintegration of a working-class marriage. Given the potentially contentious subject matter — a wife and mother struggling over whether to leave her unfulfilling marriage — it isn't surprising that this play wasn't produced when Lawrence wrote it in 1910. The Mint Theater's absorbing, meticulous staging highlights Lawrence's skill at laying bare the lives of his characters, and is an intriguing window into a little-known aspect of Lawrence's career, and the time in which he lived.
