Nell Gwynn

By Jessica Swale

September 8-11, 2022

“Nell Gwynn” is a comedic play with music and dance about the life of Nell Gwynn who became one of the first women on the English stage in a time, the 17th century, when men played all the female roles in theatre. Nell causes bawdy havoc as she rises from her roots in the slums to become the favorite mistress of King Charles II. All the characters are real people from history, and the events in the play are based, with embellishments, on real life.
