Lady Chatterley's LoverAdapted by Glenn Elston from the novel by D.H. Lawrence
Australian Shakespeare Company 2011 CAST Lady Chatterley | Hannah Norris Oliver Mellors | Jamieson Caldwell Clifford Chatterley | Soren Jensen Mrs Bolton | Olivia Connolly Hilda | Katherine Innes Sir Malcolm Reid | Benedict Kazlauskas AboutLady 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 gamekeeper 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. |
