LADY CHATTERLEY’S LOVER musical to run in the West End this summer

It has been announced that a new musical version of ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ is headed for the West End this summer. 

The new piece, which features a libretto by John Robinson (Behind the Iron Mask), will play at the Shaftesbury Theatre on 18 and 19 June 2021, with the production being filmed for future streaming. There are also plans in the works for further live performances with more details to be announced in due course. 

‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ is directed by Sasha Regan with original libretto by Phil Willmott and production design by Andrew Exeter. 

John Robinson has commented ‘I am thrilled to be back in the West End with my latest musical – it’s a project very close to my heart given my own roots in D H Lawrence country and I hope to give due justice to both the ground-breaking novel as well as the area in which it is set. By recording the show for streaming later this year, we’re also guaranteeing it a fabulous future life to ensure more audiences can enjoy the work’ 

The production also features musical direction by Michael Bradley, lighting by Nic Farman and movement by Chris Whittaker. Casting is yet to be announced.
