Publisher Description
Anais Nin wrote her diary at the end of 1931, at the close of a sexually tumultuous and emotional year as part of a ménage a trois with fellow writer Henry Miller and his beautiful wife June Mansfield. “I really believe that if I were not a writer, not a creator, not an experimenter, I might have been a very faithful wife.” Nin’s passionate and consuming relationship with Henry and June transformed a previously monogamous wife into an uninhibited and sexually liberated woman.
Henry and June is a forthright and riveting account of a woman discovering her sensuality. Our production is read by Cherie Lunghi. As a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company she has appeared in London and Stratford in many of its productions. Amongst her many film appearances have been Roland Joffe’s The Mission, John Boorman’s Excalibur and Kenneth Branagh’s Frankenstein.
