In brief...
Step into the riotous world of Nell Gwynn, Jessica Swale’s Olivier Award-winning comedy. Follow the remarkable rise of Nell, an orange-seller turned actress who captures the heart of King Charles II—and the imagination of a nation. This is a fast-paced, historical play with music, mischief and a whole lot of heart. This witty and warm celebration of a woman ahead of her time is a joyous night at the theatre.
This amateur production of “Nell Gwynn” is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
Directed by Jim Lockwood
