NOT: LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER Comes to Stockwell Playhouse

HAPPY IDIOT PRODUCTIONS present a darkly comic parody of the famous D.H. Lawrence novel Not: Lady Chatterley's Lover at Stockwell Playhouse on Sunday 18th November, finishing their sold out UK Tour. Expect long, contemplative looks into the middle distance, moments of touching drama, plenty of farce and a gentle stroke of innuendo.

Lady Chatterley welcomes home her husband, Clifford, from a war that has left the world in tatters. With Clifford's legs also in tatters, he arrives at Wragby Hall confined to a wheelchair and clutching his secret. As the couple grow apart, Constance falls into a passionate, sexual and curiously experimental affair with estate gamekeeper, Mellors.

Think The Naked Gun and Airplane! mixed with a steamy costume drama in this laughter-filled parody of the D.H. Lawrence classic.

The play has been adapted by Lawrence Russell, who also plays Clifford Chatterley in the show. He is joined on stage by Christina Baston as Lady Chatterley, Wesley Griffin as Mellors and Rebecca McClay as Mrs Bolton.

Discussing the play, Lawrence says: "Not: Lady Chatterley's Lover is a quintessential British novel which - over the years - has been adapted for film, TV and stage so I felt it was due time for a new take on the classic.

Experience high drama, high comedy and highly raised eyebrows in what will be a fantastic show for both those who know the novel and those who are experiencing it for the first time.
