At the playhouse in Drury Lane, orange-hawker Nell Gwynn is making waves of her own.
When she takes to the stage as one of the first female actors, she causes bawdy havoc in a male-dominated world and soon comes to the attention of the King. Rising from her roots in the slums of Cheapside, she becomes the nation’s most celebrated actress and, infamously, the favourite mistress of the King.
However, her meteoric rise to fame comes with its own dangers. She is a commoner, a Protestant and is perceived by the court as not only a distraction but a danger. With her family and her friends at risk, Nell must decide where her future lies...on the stage or at the Palace.
Jessica Swale’s play about the orange-seller turned actor has lots of music, comedy, amazing costumes, and a great set.
