⭐ LADY CHATTERLEY’S LOVER – WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW MUSICAL ANNOUNCED – LIMITED WEST END RUN SET FOR SHAFTESBURY THEATRE ⭐
A new musical adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s infamous literary classic, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, will come to the West End for a strictly limited run this summer, it has been announced.
Crafted by composer John Robinson (Behind the Iron Mask, Closer to the Sun), this world premiere at Shaftesbury Theatre will reenergise Lawrence’s sensation for a new audience. This world premiere adaptation will be filmed to stream later in the year before future live performances.
The impassioned tale of female agency and Lady Chatterley’s pursuit of a life more than half-lived changed the literary landscape of Britain. Banned as scandalous erotica when first published and subject of a watershed obscenity trial, Lawrence’s text caused outrage not just because of the expletives and explicit sexual relationship, but because it presented a physical relationship that traversed social class divides. This intense and fiery classic will find new frenzied power in its translation to the stage.
Lady Chatterley’s Lover is directed by the award-winning Sasha Regan (Blondel, The Last Five Years) with original libretto by Phil Willmott (Once Upon a Time At the Adelphi, Relativity: The Einstein Musical), and production design by Andrew
Exeter (High Fidelity).
Lady Chatterley’s Lover is set to play Shaftesbury Theatre, running from 18th – 19th June 2021.
Fabulous! ! !
