ALMOST inevitably, a stage production of Lady Chatterley's Lover, at Malvern Theatres, will contain "strong language, nudity and scenes of a sexual nature".
The controversial DH Lawrence classic will be brought to the stage in an English Touring Theatre and Sheffield Theatres production, and it will entertain local audiences, aged over 14 only, from Tuesday November 1 to Saturday November 5.
A spokesman said: "Lady Constance Chatterley is trapped in a loveless marriage. Feeling emotionally and physically neglected by her husband, Clifford, who was paralysed in the Great War, she flees to the arms of their handsome Gamekeeper, Mellors.
"As their passionate affair escalates, Constance begins to realise that she can no longer live in a world of the mind alone."
The novel was banned from publication in the UK until 1960.
The book was famously the subject of an obscenity trial, when it was published in the UK by Penguin Books.
Penguin won and went on to sell millions of copies.
The spokesman added: "It is a story about freedom of the mind and body in a society bound by class and tradition."
Tickets for the Malvern show are available on, 01684 892277.
