DH Lawrence’s ‘The Fox’ is an intense drama, set in rural England in 1918, weeks after the end of the World War 1. Two women struggle to run a small farm. Their lives are disrupted by a fox stealing their chickens and the arrival of a young soldier recently returned from France. These seemingly unrelated events combine and clash with unexpected consequences.
The play has been adapted for the stage by Dunedin playwright Keith Scott.
