Colwall Players Present: Playhouse Creatures
29 May 2025 to 31 May 2025
7.30pm
at Colwall Village Hall, Mill Lane, Colwall WR13 6EQ
The play is set in 1669 - a bawdy and troublesome time. Theatres had just re-opened after 17 years of suppression under the Puritans and for the first time English actresses are seen on stage.
April De Angelis has taken five famous figures - including Nell Gwynn - and given us a fascinating look at the precarious lot of actresses at the time. A moving and often comic account of the true lives of restoration actresses, with som earthy language!
Due to the content of the play we are advising that it is suitable for age 14 and over only, and in recognition of the possible interest to older students who may be studying the play as part of a drama course, we are extending our concessionary rate to under 19’s.
Performances on Thursday to Saturday 29th to 31st May at 7.30 at Colwall Village Hall Mill Lane, Colwall. Ticket prices: Adults £13 and students £8 (under 19’s) Tickets available from mid-April via ticketsource.co.uk/colwall players
