In Good King Charles's Golden Days
''In Good King Charles's Golden Days'' is a play by George Bernard Shaw, subtitled ''A True History that Never Happened''.
It was written in 1938-39 as an "educational history film" for film director Gabriel Pascal in the aftermath of ''Pygmalions cinema triumph. The cast of the proposed film were to be sumptuously clothed in 17th century costumes, far beyond the resources of most theatre managements. However, by the time of its completion in May 1939, it had turned into a Shavian Restoration comedy.〔''Bernard Shaw, Volume 3: The Lure of Fantasy'' by Michael Holroyd, Chatto and Windus, London (1991) ISBN 0-7011-3351-1〕
The title of the play is taken from the first line of the traditional song "The Vicar of Bray".
== Plot ==
A discussion play, the issues of nature, power and leadership are debated between King Charles II ('Mr Rowley'), Isaac Newton, George Fox and the artist Godfrey Kneller, with interventions by three of the king's mistresses (Barbara Villiers, 1st Duchess of Cleveland; Louise de Kérouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth; and Nell Gwynn) and his queen, Catherine of Braganza.
