Playhouse Creatures by April De Angelis
7-9th March 2019

The year is 1669 a bawdy and troublesome time. Theatres have just reopened after seventeen years of Puritan suppression. There is a surge in dramatic writing and the first English actresses appear on stage. Playhouse Creatures focuses on five of the most famous, Nell Gwyn, Elizabeth Farley, Rebecca Marshall, Elizabeth Barry and Mary Betterton to provide a moving and often comic account of the precarious lives of Restoration actresses.
Tickets available online and in David’s Music.
