Synopsis

It’s 1664, and at Court, King Charles II is living up to his name as The Merry Monarch with his passion for the good things in life – including women. Down at Drury Lane, Nell Gwynn is making her own mark on London society, as she captivates audiences with her theatrical talents. But when she gains the King’s attention, can her charisma and vitality protect her from her enemies? This joyful comedy explores the allure and adversities of life in the Restoration theatre.

This production celebrates the 90th anniversary of the Company of Ten.
