SUMMARY:Nell Gwynn
DESCRIPTION:by Jessica Swale\n\n \n15-22nd November 2025, 7.30pm\nFun, Funny and Joyous, with a cast of 20, a band, merry dances and naughty songs\nLondon, 1660. King Charles II has ascended to the English throne and restores theatre and performance following the Puritanical reign of Oliver Cromwell. He lives a hedonistic lifestyle, with a love of all things flamboyant, extravagant and sexy.\nAt the playhouse in Drury Lane, orange-hawker, Nell Gwynn, is making waves of her own.\nWhen 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, she becomes the nation’s most celebrated actress and, infamously, the favourite mistress of the King.\nHowever, her meteoric rise to fame comes with its own dangers. With her family and her friends at risk, Nell must decide where her future lies….on the stage or at the Palace.\nJessica Swale’s play about the orange-seller turned actor cannily mixes Carry On gags with an explicitly feminist message. Lots of music, comedy, bawdy laughs, great costumes and a great set.\n\n \nCast\n\n\n\nNell Gwynn \nPoppy Skinner\n\n\nCharles Hart \nGlen Fawcett\n\n\nThomas Killigrew\nVince Bowers\n\n\nEdward Kynaston \nMark Hobson\n\n\nJohn Dryden \nJake Scott\n\n\nNancy \nSamantha Wadsworth\n\n\nNed Spiggott\nJames Riley\n\n\nRose Gwynn \nNatalie Slater\n\n\nMa Gwynn \nLorraine Reynolds\n\n\nCharles II \nChesney Talbot\n\n\nLord Arlington \nAndrew Wilson\n\n\nQueen Catherine\nCorinne Bailey\n\n\nLady Castlemaine \nAngela Walsh\n\n\nLouise de Kerouille \nKate Hanss\n\n\nWilliam  \nMartin Wadsworth\n\n\nMusicians \nIan F Ball & Martin Wadsworth\n\n\nEnsemble \nIssy Parks\n\n\n\nImogen Turner\n\n\n\nAmalie Popplewell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrew\n\n\n\nDirector\nCarol Davies\n\n\nPA  \nPauline Walsh\n\n\nMusical Directors \nMartin Wadsworth & Ian F Ball\n\n\nChoreographer\nKatie Illingworth\n\n\nPrompt \nAnne Wright\n\n\nSound  \nPatrick Warrington\n\n\nLighting \nBob Critchley\n\n\nProps\nJo Taylor & Cath Bradbury\n\n\nCostume  \nSue Lund & team\n\n\nSet Design \nSally McKee\n\n\nSet Building & painting \nSally McKee & David McKee, Richard Thackray, Mandy Thackray\n\n\nStage Manager \nSue Borg\n\n\nPublicity \nDavid Ebden, Richard Wallis, Martin & Val Kavanagh, Sam Al-Hamdani\n\n\nPhotography \nAlan Gorst\n\n\n\n\n \nMeet our cast . . .\n \n
