Glenn Elston's saucy production of DH Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover premiered in 2011 at Rippon Lea House and Garden. Now it's back, complete with full-frontal nudity by its two beautiful leads. On Valentine's Day, February 14, a special performance will be given
en plein air.

Lawrence's novel details the explosive sexual liaison between Connie, an upper-class woman, and Mellors, her crippled husband's gamekeeper, very much her social inferior.
Spicing things up is her sensual awakening, as she learns to enjoy her sexuality. Worse is to come as Lady Chatterley falls in love.
Claire Nicholls and Jamieson Caldwell aren't just two hot young bodies. Caldwell - described as 'ridiculously good looking' - has appeared in Elston's
Macbeth, Arena Theatre productions and in short films and commercials.

Nicholls is an accomplished actress who appeared in the acclaimed performance of
Oedipus - a Poetic Requiem for Melbourne Fringe.
Take a picnic, a blanket or chair and maybe a cardigan for the cooler nights.
Rippon Lea House and Garden is one of Melbourne's heritage jewels, romantic at any time. Take your lover on Valentine's Day and soak up this fine production.
Better still, ask somebody new out. By the end of the night, you might yourself be someone's lover.
