Nelly A Folk Musical

Nelly A Folk Musical Carry On Up the Restoration! Theatre is all about storytelling. Folk music is all about storytelling. So, why not put them in the same room? A plague. Ahem.

And Nell Gwynne - what a story. Born into poverty the young Nelly was a cinder girl, a fish hawker, an orange seller but became the leading comedy actress of her day. She is perhaps best known to history as the mistress of Charles II. But is really known to us because she was funny. Samuel Pepys called her "pretty witty Nell". Playwrights, poets and politicians - the sharpest minds courted her and

were part of her "merry gang". Script by Graham Hopkins. Songs by Jo Freya, Robb Johnson, Reg Meuross, Lucy Ward, Boff Whalley and Dave Wilson (Winter Wilson). And 350 years on, what's changed? A corrupt government. A dodgy Duke of York.
