D.H. Lawrence's scandalous novel comes to life at Rippon Lea.
Lady Chatterley's Lover is a hymn to the flesh, to love.
One of the most controversial novels in English literature, it is an erotically charged and psychologically powerful depiction of adult relationships.
Lady Chatterley's Lover skillfully depicts the adulterous affair between the sexually unfulfilled upper-class Connie and the game-keeper Mellors, who works for her impotent, invalid husband Sir Clifford.
This powerful depiction of the sexual liaison between the two characters perfectly captures the struggle between the classes and the sexes.
Glenn Elston's new production, performed under the stars at Rippon Lea House and Garden, takes us bodily into the world of Lawrence's characters as they embark on an affair that brings to life their stifled existence.
The beautiful surrounds of Rippon Lea House and Garden lend perfectly to the undercurrent of the natural and raw sensuality running through this masterful play.
Venue: Rippon Lea House and Garden
192 Hotham Street, Elsternwick, 3185
