A SUBVERSIVE parody Not: Lady Chatterley’s Lover will bring a fresh twist to DH Lawrence’s classic story this autumn.

Writer Lawrence Russell Shows has given this scandalous story the Mel Brooks treatment ahead of a Barrow performance.

Lord Chatterley returns to Wragby Hall confined to a wheelchair and clutching his secret.

Despite her husband’s newfound impotence, a subject that everyone struggles to avoid, Lady Chatterley entertains the idea that one day they could have a child. But, as the couple drift apart, she

embarks on a passionate and curiously experimental affair with Mellors, the estate gamekeeper.

This laughter-filled parody will bring you high drama, high comedy and highly-raised eyebrows.

The show will be taking to the stage at The Forum on October 26.

Writer Lawrence Russell said: "There are so many incredibly high-stakes moments in the book that, with a few twists, exaggerations and undercutting of the bleak themes, you can create countless laugh out loud moments.

"I’m really proud that we’ve been able to incorporate integrated audio description and creative captioning as standard for every show, meaning that those who have difficulties with their hearing or sight will get the jokes at the same time as everyone else!

"Taking a well-loved story and effortlessly moving between touching moments and perfectly timed comedy means the team have made something that shouldn’t be missed."
