Lady Chatterley's Lover Patrick Prior

Lady Chatterley's Lover is perhaps the most controversial and erotic love story of the 20th century. Connie Chatterley, lady of the manor, is sexually unfulfilled until she meets Oliver Mellors, her husband's game-keeper. They embark on a torrid affair, defying class conventions as they lose themselves in sexual abandon in the woods. The story by D. H. Lawrence was considered so shocking that it was banned for several decades until a celebrated court case in the 1960s brought this classic of erotic love into mainstream literature. This stage version captures all the drama of forbidden love and the catastrophic effects it has on many lives.
