The production runs at the Richmond based theatre until the 12th April.
Production images have now been released for Michael Oakley’s production of April de Angelis’s play which continues to play until the 12th April.
This revival of the play stars: Anna Chancellor (Mrs Betterton), Zoe Brough (Nell Gwyn), Doña Croll (Doll Common), Katherine Kingsley(Mrs Marshall) and Nicole Sawyerr (Mrs Farley).
It’s the swinging (16)60s, and ‘the merry monarch’ Charles II is on the throne. After violent civil war, England’s theatres have finally reopened and, for the first time, women are allowed to perform in public.
In the West End, grande dame Mrs Betterton (Anna Chancellor) rules the roost. But there’s a new face in town: an orange-seller with dreams of stardom. From dressing-room camaraderie to bitter rivalry, April De Angelis’ gloriously exuberant, bawdily funny and deeply poignant play celebrates five women grabbing this newfound freedom and making their way in an unfamiliar world. But at what price?
After its run at the Orange Tree theatre, the production will visit: Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford from 22nd – 26th April and Theatre Royal Bath from 28th April – 3rd May.
The creative team behind the production also includes: Designer Fotini Dimou; Lighting Designer Elliot Griggs; Sound Designer and Composer: Max Pappenheim; Movement Director Mandy Demetriou; Costume Supervisor Male Arcucci and Casting Director Annelie Powell CDG.
