Nell Gwynn (play)
''Nell Gwynn'' is a play by the British playwright Jessica Swale, begun in 2013〔http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/theatre-dance/features/jessica-swale-interview-woman-on-fire-8755622.html〕 and premiering at Shakespeare's Globe from 19 September to 17 October 2015.〔http://www.shakespearesglobe.com/theatre/whats-on/globe-theatre/nell-gwynn〕 It deals with the life of Nell Gwynn, mistress of Charles II, and her part in the theatre of the 17th century. On July 3rd 2015 it was announced that actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw would play the title role in the production debut.
==Plot==
Hearing Nell Gwynn heckle at the playhouse, Charles Hart decides to train her as an actress, just before women are first allowed on the London stage - the pair also become lovers. When Charles II grants permission for women to act, Nell joins Hart in the King's Company. This is backed by most of the company, except Edward Kynaston, who had previously played the company's female parts. Charles II continues his affair with Barbara Palmer, before attending the theatre one night, where he sees Nell onstage and falls in love. He comes backstage afterwards and the pair begin an affair, which eventually leads to a rupture between her and Hart.
Nell also faces threats from Palmer and from Charles' chief minister Arlington to attempt to get her to give up Charles or to choose between him and the theatre. These culminate in a violent attack on her sister Rose, instigated by Arlington. Instead of giving Charles up, Nell instead moves into apartments provided by Charles and attends fewer and fewer rehearsals. A French diplomatic party arrives and Arlington orchestrates Charles into taking Louise de Keroualle as his mistress. Charles and de Keroualle attend the theatre and Nell publicly pokes fun at de Keroualle.
Rose and her and Nell's mother Ma Gwynn visit Nell at court and later Rose visits alone to announce Ma's death and berate Nell for not visiting them. On Nell's advice Charles dissolves the Exclusion Bill Parliament, including Arlington, on whom Nell takes her revenge by making him the royal dog-walker. Nell and Charles live together happily, but Charles suffers an apoplectic fit whilst they are playing croquet, dying soon afterwards. Nell is excluded from his deathbed and soon afterwards decides to return to King's Company, reconcile with Hart and appear in Dryden's ''Tyrannick Love''. As she is out of practice, she graciously gives over the lead role to Kynaston, but insists on speaking a self-penned epilogue, which closes both Dryden's and Swale's play.
