Event Description

Colwall Players present Playhouse Creatures by April De Angelis

The play is set in 1669 – a bawdy and troublesome time. Theatres had just re-opened after 17 years of suppression under the Puritans and for the first time English actresses are seen on stage.

April De Angelis has taken five famous figures – including Nell Gwynn – and given us a fascinating look at the precarious lot of actresses at the time. It’s a moving and often comic account of the true lives of restoration actresses, with some earthy language!

Due to the content of the play, we are advising that it is suitable for age 14 and over only, and in recognition of the possible interest to older students who may be studying the play as part of a drama course, we are extending our concessionary rate to under 19s.
