Nell Gwynn

Among the bustle of Drury Lane, a spirited orange-seller catches the eye of actor Charles Hart - and soon the entire King's Company.

Armed with nothing but her wit, warmth and fierce determination, Nell climbs from the pit to the stage, becoming one of the first - and most celebrated - female performers in Restoration England.

Her natural comic talent wins over audiences, but it's her bold, irrepressible charm that captures the attention of King Charles II himself.
