| Description |
English actors Nell Gwynn, Mary Betterton and Elizabeth Farley where among a small group of pioneers in the late 1660's whose talent and success not only established women as a force in the theatre but caused more radical comic dramatists to write sympathetically about female issues and rights, particularly in marriage. This play follows the women's lives with the King's (Charles II ) Company from 1669 until the theatre was burned down a few years later, presenting a female view of the theatre's capacity to both empower and destroy. |
