about the production
Think The Naked Gun and Airplane! mixed with a steamy costume drama in this laughter-filled parody of the D.H. Lawrence novel. 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. There will be long contemplative looks into the middle distance, moments of touching drama, plenty of farce and a gentle stroke of innuendo.
about the artist
We are a Shoreham-by-Sea based company creating theatre that makes people laugh and then makes them think…but hopefully not about why they were laughing. Devising text collaboratively through improvisation, we focus on creating characters that freely move between comedy and tragedy. Our current ‘Not: A Classic’ series sees us create subversive, comedic parodies of Classic Literature. Whether the comedy comes from farce, slapstick, word play, or honest delivery, we provide an entertaining night out whilst staying true to the original text.
