Playhouse Creatures

Stables Theatre & Arts Centre

Playhouse Creatures Approximate run time including interval - 2 hours 10 minutes. Author - April De Angelis. Director - Liz Mattey. A love letter to the renegades and trailblazers who were the first actresses to be legally allowed to perform on the English stage. A glimpse into their world on the boards and off with the intrigues, bawdiness, struggles and laughter found in a theatre ruled by the actor manager and frequented by Kings and commoners. April De Angelis’ witty script shares deliciously absurd extracts from the repertory; there is glitter and glamour but we are never far from the gutter. Come and join the infamous Nell Gwynn and her contemporaries in Restoration London for a riotous evening at the theatre. Triggers + Age Guidance - 16+.
