Phoenix Rising

About

Tuesday 8 - Saturday 12 September 2015

Phoenix Rising was first performed at Nottingham Playhouse as part of the International D. H. Lawrence Centenary Festival in September 1985 and returns to its roots to mark the 130th anniversary of Lawrence’s birth.

Paul Slack reprises his critically acclaimed performance as D. H. Lawrence.

Written and directed by Nottingham playwright Campbell Kay, Phoenix Rising is set in the year 1928 at the Ile de Port-Cros, Var, in France where Lawrence and his wife Frieda are living on a small island off the Southern French coast.

Lawrence is a very ill man and less than two years from his own untimely death. An unexpected letter from David Chambers, the brother of his early and influential muse Jessie (Miriam in Sons and Lovers), spurs D. H. Lawrence to reminisce about his early life… aeons away!
