London. The plague is over. Theatres are re-opening. King Charles II has exploded onto the scene with a love of all things loud, extravagant and sexy. And at Drury Lane, a young Nell Gwynn is causing stirrings amongst the theatregoers.
Nell Gwynn by Jessica Swale charts the rise of an unlikely heroine, from her roots in Coal Yard Alley 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 and spirit protect her from the dangers of the Court?
Join Circle 67 as we celebrate the life of “pretty, witty Nell” through song, music and bawdy humour.
Performances will take place at The Cut Arts Centre in Halesworth.
Tickets: £12 in advance (or £14 on the door) from The Cut Box Office. Tel: 0300 303 3211 or in person (opening hours: Tuesday–Saturday 10am–2pm).
