The play revolves around the coming-of-age of Barbara Weekley, Frieda Lawrence’s estranged daughter. Barbara, a young woman in the play, was abandoned by her mother as an 8-year old when Frieda ran off with D.H. Lawrence, whom she later married. During the course of the play’s action, Barbara learns about art and life, while establishing her own relationship with Lawrence as he writes Lady Chatterley’s Lover.

The play is set near Florence, Italy and Bandol, France. In case you don’t remember, Lady Chatterley’s Lover was banned in America until 1960 and it is credited with affecting the moral climate of the 60s and 70s, both here and abroad.
Loving Lady Chatterley is a well-researched, historically literate play about a group of artists and the hook that helped free the west of Victorian values.

The play contains adult material and brief nudity.
