Nell Gwynn

London, 1660. Orange-seller, wit, trailblazer, Nell Gwynn is a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. From the chaotic pit of Drury Lane to the polished halls of Charles II’s court, Nell’s rise to fame as one of Britain’s first actresses is equal parts hilarious and defiant. 
 
Packed with mischief, music and plenty of flair, Nell Gwynn is a riotous celebration of performance and women who won’t behave.
