Kate Saffin talks to Laura Ingram from Orange Girl Productions about Nell Gwyn: An Epilogue. ‘The darling strumpet of the crowd,’ nineteen-year old Nell is at the height of her career, celebrated for her comic acting – particularly when she dresses as a boy to show her legs. She has caught the eye – and the attentions – of the King, but Charles Hart, her manager and former lover, is frustrating her ambitions both on and off the stage. Aided by the audience, Nell concocts a plan to win Hart round, but will the King still want her when she does?”
