Playhouse Creatures

HIVE (Her Infinite Variety Ensemble) presents “Playhouse Creatures” By April De Angelis, by arrangement with Origin Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French, Ltd. Directed by Helen Doig Starring Rhoda Lopez as Nell Gwyn and Angelique Malcolm as Mary Betterton, Claire Munday as Doll Common, Tiffany Barton as Elizabeth Farley and Summer Williams as Rebecca Marshall The year is 1669 – a bawdy troublesome time. The theatres have just re-opened after 17 years of suppression under the Puritans and the first English actresses set foot upon the stages of England. April De Angelis has taken five famous figures – Nell Gwyn, Elizabeth Farley, Rebecca Marshall, Doll Common and Mary Betterton – and given us a fascinating look at the precarious lot of actresses at that time. A moving and often comic account of the true lives of Restoration actresses, with some earthy language! MAY 22 TO JUNE 8 (Tue-Sat 8pm.
