Lady Chatterley's Lover under the stars
|
|
White Hat feels that the Australian Shakespeare Company have made inspired
choices of venues in choosing the grounds of the stately homes Rippon Lea and
Barwon Park. This promises to be a romantic and sensuous night set in the these
ideal surroundings. DH Lawrence’s erotically charged and
psychologically powerful depiction of adult relationships comes to life in the
foreground of the grand mansion. Join us as we follow Lady Chatterley as she
realises that her emotionally and physically stifled marriage is no match for
true equality and fulfilment with her lover Mellors. She breaks the biggest rule
of all and falls in love with a man below her class – her husband’s gamekeeper.
Lawrence’s vivid depiction of their sexual exploration of each other has made
this story a timeless classic. Adapted and directed by Glenn Elston. Full details and booking information at
Lady Chatterley's Lover. (If you want to catch up with White Hat, meet us in
the potting shed.) |
