Summary "Full of humour and bawdy wit, this new comedy transports us into the wanton world of the English Restoration ... King Charles 2nd lies ill, Nell Gwyn, his royal whore, once the brightest star of the Restoration theatre, rages against her fate. What will become of her if Charles is summoned to his Maker? What perils will befall the English nation? Mistress Gwyn and Margery, her maid, lead us a merry dance, filled with their laughter, their tears, and Nell's enchanting songs of the Baroque"--Provided by publisher
