Set in the Midlands, Lawrence's Touch and Go is a three-act play dealing with clash between capitalism and labor. In his attempt to organize miners Willie Houghton argues that capitalism is like a wheel-cart and labor is like the frog crushed beneath its wheels. "The essence of tragedy, which is creative crisis, is that a man should go through with his fate, and not dodge it and go bumping into an accident. And the whole business of life, at the great critical periods of mankind, is that men should accept and be one with their tragedy. Therefore we should open our hearts. For one thing we should have a People's Theatre. Perhaps it would help us in this hour of confusion better than anything." D. H. Lawrence was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter whose works represent a reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. In his writings Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct often apposing current social acceptance. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, described him as "the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation."
Autorenporträt
D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was a pioneering English novelist, poet, essayist, and literary critic renowned for his provocative exploration of human emotions, sexuality, and societal norms. Born in the coal-mining town of Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, Lawrence's modernist works like Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover challenged prevailing conventions of his time, delving deeply into social alienation, modernity, and industrialization. Despite facing censorship and controversy, Lawrence's literary legacy endures as a testament to his daring and original contributions to literature and his unyielding quest for authenticity in artistic expression.
