NELL !
written by L.A. Green
“She is pretty
and she knows it;
She is witty
and she shows it:
Pretty, witty Nell !”
Zoe Teverson as Nell Gwyn
Directed by Lorraine Spenceley
Harlot, comic actress and philanthropist Nell Gwynn was all of these. She is best known as the orange seller mistress of Charles II. Born into poverty, sold at nine years old to a brothel.
Only to become a leading star of the London stage. An accomplished and much loved comedienne, she caught the eye, and the heart, of Charles II. Confident, mischievous, charming, generous, caring and outrageously funny. Hear Nell reminisces about her life as she prepares for darling Charlie’s funeral.
The ethos of the company is the re–telling of history from the women’s perspective. Herstory as oppose to History
