Nell Gwynn
Nell Gwynn by Jessica Swale directed by Dave King ' Superbly funny...a juicy, well-wrought thing of great fun, a wonderfully layered celebration of theatre, but most of all an apt homage to a woman incredibly ahead of her time ' - Time Out London, 1660. King Charles II has exploded onto the scene with a love of all things theatrical, extravagant and sexy. And at Drury Lane, a young Nell Gwynn is causing a stir. Nell Gwynn charts the rise of an unlikely heroine, from her humble roots to her success as Britain's most celebrated actress, and her hard-won place in the heart of the King. But at a time when women are second-class citizens, can her charm, spirit and the love of the King protect her from the dangers of the Court? Written by Jessica Swale (Blue Stockings) this exhilarating play won the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2016. An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
