A bawdy romp fit for a king! ------------------------ Before there were film stars, before there were influencers, before there were reality celebrities, there was Nell Gwynn. Orange seller. Celebrity. Royal favourite and the most talked-about woman in England. Grantham Dramatic Society invites you to experience the wit, romance and riotous comedy of Nell Gwynn, Jessica Swale's award-winning celebration of theatre, love and a woman determined to write her own story.

The Monarch, the Mistresses, the Mayhem!

Step back into the glittering, scandalous world of Restoration London as Grantham Dramatic Society proudly presents Nell Gwynn.

Packed with laughter, romance, intrigue and lavish theatrical spectacle, this award-winning comedy tells the irresistible true story of Nell Gwynn, the orange seller who captured the heart of a king and became one of the most famous women in England.

As Nell rises from the rowdy world of Drury Lane Theatre to the court of King Charles II, she must navigate a whirlwind of aristocrats, royal mistresses, her own family and endless gossip. Along the way there are rivalries, misunderstandings, impossible choices and enough cheeky innuendo to keep audiences laughing throughout.

Featuring a large and energetic ensemble cast, colourful characters, hecklers, players and rogues, Nell Gwynn brings Restoration London vividly to life.

Warm-hearted, fast-paced and gloriously bawdy, this is a comedy that celebrates the magic of theatre itself. Expect witty dialogue, memorable characters and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments in a production that proves some stories never grow old.

A bawdy romp fit for a king, and perfect for anyone who loves great comedy, larger-than-life characters and an unforgettable evening's entertainment.
