AN adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's classic novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover, will appear at Malvern Theatres next week.
The sensual and thrilling novel was banned in the UK until 1960. Inspired by the setting of his Nottinghamshire childhood, Lawrence's tender story shows how three people, reeling from the aftermath of the Great War, struggle to survive in a world which has been blown apart.
Passion, class, love and sexual freedom are at the heart of this new adaptation of a truly modern classic.
Lady Constance Chatterley is trapped in a loveless marriage. Feeling emotionally and physically neglected by her husband, Clifford, who was paralysed in the Great War, she flees to the arms of their handsome gamekeeper, Mellors. As their passionate affair escalates, Constance begins to realise that she can no longer live in a world of the mind alone.
Phillip Breen directs a cast including Hedydd Dylan as Lady Chatterley and Jonah Russell as Mellors.
Lady Chatterley's Lover is at Malvern Theatres between Tuesday, November 1, and Saturday, November 5.
The production contains strong language, nudity and scenes of a sexual nature and is not suitable for children.
Tickets are on sale from the box office on 01684 982277 or by visiting malvern-theatres.co.uk.
