THE story of Charles II’s mistress, Nell Gwyn, who dragged herself from the gutters of Covent Garden to become a glittering actress and celebrity, comes to Warrington on October 23.
Pretty Witty Nell is being performed at the Pyramid Arts Centre from 7.30pm.
With the king on his death bed and creditors knocking on her door, Nell recalls her radiant life. She tells how by sheer force of wit and charm she became the best-loved character of her day.
Nell was adored by diarist Pepys and Dryden wrote plays for her. The people were entranced by her and her relationship with King Charles, which lasted 18 turbulent years.
Details are available from the box office 01925 442345.
