An Oxford Theatre Guild production
By Jessica Swale
Directed by Cate Nunn

It’s Charles II’s London – and after years of Puritan gloom, the King wants life to be exuberant, sexy and fun. He’s reopened the theatres – and for the first time ever, they’re letting women on the stage…

In Drury Lane, spirited and charming Nell Gwynn is selling oranges. Rising from the backstreets of London to become a star of the burgeoning West End, she wins the adoration of the public – and the heart of the King.

A funny and heart-warming tale of a woman who triumphed against all the odds, set in the riotous and vibrant world of Restoration England, Nell Gwynn is a joyful story of love, friendship, theatre and family.

Tickets from £10.
