Lady Constance Chatterley is trapped in a loveless marriage. Her husband Clifford, paralysed in the Great War, leaves her feeling emotionally and physically neglected. Isolated, 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.
One of the most celebrated novels of the twentieth century, D.H. Lawrence’s controversial work was banned from publication in the UK until 1960. This stunning new production questions the nature of freedom of mind and body in a society bound by class and tradition.
This world premiere production of Lady Chatterley’s Lover comes to Oxford Playhouse following English Touring Theatre’s critically acclaimed productions of Arcadia and The Herbal Bed, and has been adapted and is directed by Philip Breen.
