Did anyone listen, last night? The most exquisite of productions by Radio 4. Opinions?

I heard it. And after some initial scepticism about how they could make a novel like that work for radio I actually thought it was really well done. I only caught it by chance because I was driving. But it must have been good because when I got home I stayed in the car on my drive so that I wouldn't miss the end. :thumbsup:

No Cloudy, I missed it, but I think Lawrence is a very great writer, a true master of English prose. His poetry is wonderful too. I am pleased his work is being revived, as I have a feeling he has been somewhat neglected of late.

His works lend themselves well to dramatic enactment. As I missed it, perhaps we could restage it, with you taking on the role of Lady Chatterly and I performing as Mellors (and what a performance it would be!). ;) :thumbsup:

...or you could always rework it as "Lord Chaverly's Lover"...? Just a thought.:)

Why indeed Cloudy. I like Tartempion's idea though of re-working of the script, with me playing the role of LordChaverly and you the role of my comely maidservant. But you would not be spending much time 'below stairs'. :thumbsup:

It sounds wonderful Cloudy. I am ready, willing and able to give the performance of a lifetime. :thumbsup:

If we reverted to the original script, we would also need some weak, gullible, and insipid character to play the role of Lady C's cuckolded husband. I suggest we choose one of the forum's politically correct posters, as the role would probably suit them to a tee. ;)
