Based on the novel by D.H. Lawrence
Book and lyrics by Nicola Werenowska
Nicola Werenowska's bold reimagining of D.H. Lawrence’s classic novel gives voice to the three Polish women at the heart of the story.
Lydia, a political activist and refugee from Poland, has been forced to carve out a new life for herself and her daughter in rural Nottinghamshire. But at what emotional cost?
Anna, her daughter, has been birthing and raising children for decades. As the menopause hits, she starts to question what it is that she really wants.
Ursula, Anna’s daughter, has no interest in marriage. She wants to work, to explore her sexuality and to find out what it means to be Polish.
Told through interweaving lyrical narration, compelling dialogue, music and movement, this high energy ensemble piece paints a colourful picture of female
emancipation, class struggle, gender and migrant identity; reminding us that it is only when we embrace the past that we discover who we really are.
Tickets: £15 - £30
