What's On
Playhouse Creatures
By April de Angelis
Iqbal Khan Director
Tue 30 Mar - Sat 3 April
The year is 1669 - a bawdy and troublesome time, with theatres
having just reopened after seventeen years of Puritan suppression.
This juicy historical drama looks at the period during Charles II’s
reign when, for the first time in England, women were allowed to
perform on stage. Playhouse Creatures focuses on five of the most
famous of the time - Nell Gwyn, Elizabeth Farley, Rebecca Marshall,
Doll Common and Mary Betterton.
A rollicking story full of earthy comedy and feminine
heartbreak.
