Details

The year is 1660. The Puritans have run away with their drab grey tails between their legs and Charles II has exploded onto the scene with a love of all things loud, French and sexy. On Drury Lane, a young Nell Gwynn is peddling her satsumas and wit with equal gusto but, little does she know who is watching... World Premiere. Jessica Swale's new comedy follows the rise and rise of Britain's cheekiest orange seller, from her roots in the brothel on Coal Pan Alley to her success as Britain's first celebrated actress. Please note, this production contains adult themes.
