Backstage at the King's Theatre we enter the world of Nell Gwyn and her fellow actresses as they are first allowed to perform on stage. After years of Puritan rule, London society clamours to see women playing roles previously the domain of beardless youths. Follow the mixed fortunes of these women who struggle out of the gutter towards the stars.

A powerful human drama with great heart.
