Publisher's Synopsis
TOUCH AND GO A Play in Three Acts By D. H. Lawrence The movement of the play is a working up to a confrontation, with the threat of violence, between Gerald Barlow, the mine owner and his striking men. Each side thinks it wants more money. Each side thinks that bullying in one form or another is the way to get it. D. H. Lawrence, in full David Herbert Lawrence (1885.-1930.) is one of the most influential English writer of the 20th century. His diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism and personal letters. In his work he confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation.
