Not Lady Chatterley’s Lover
Happy Idiot Productions in Association with Worthing Theatres & Museum
Lady Chatterley welcomes her husband, Clifford, home from a war that has left the world in tatters. And sadly, nothing feels the same as he arrives at Wragby Hall confined to a wheelchair and clutching his secret.
Despite her husband’s impotence, a subject that everyone struggles to avoid, Constance entertains the idea that one day they could have a child. However, as Clifford’s obsession for industrial pursuits heightens, Constance embarks on a passionate and curiously experimental affair with Mellors, the estate gamekeeper.
