Anna Chancellor stars in this new production of April de Angelis' bawdily funny and deeply poignant play.
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 new play celebrates five women grabbing this newfound freedom and making their way in an unfamiliar world. But at what price?
Anna Chancellor's prolific career on stage and screen includes Four Weddings and a Funeral, Kavanagh QC and My Lady Jane. The stellar cast also includes Doña Croll (The Score, The American Plan), Katherine Kingsley (The Witches, Noises Off, Relative Values), Nicole Sawyerr (Much Ado About Nothing, RSC) and Zoe Brough (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Bugsy Malone)
