Husbands & Sons

Anne-Marie Duff returns to the National to play Lizzie Holroyd in HUSBANDS & SONS by DH Lawrence, adapted by Ben Power and directed by Marianne Elliott,

Husbands & Sons interweaves three of D H Lawrence's greatest dramas (The Daughter-in-Law, A Collier's Friday Night and The Widowing of Mrs Holroyd), and plays them simultaneously. Describing the world he came from with fierce tenderness, Lawrence evokes a now-vanished world of manual labour and working class pride.
