Multi award-winning verse playwright/director/producer/actor, Ryan J-W Smith, finally returns to his London roots with his internationally acclaimed Rogue Shakespeare® theatre company presenting the UK premiere of his latest verse play - the award-nominated, Pretty, Witty Nell®. Smith’s 7th verse play, Pretty, Witty Nell® is a new and original one-woman tragicomic history, written entirely in rhyming iambic pentameter, that tells the true story of Nell Gwynne, the famous actress/prostitute, and mistress of the wild British monarch, King Charles II. The world premiere took place in Hollywood, California, in June 2019, where it delighted audiences and reviewers alike: “a standout solo show - perfect!” - Broadway World Pretty, Witty Nell® was also nominated for the Hollywood Fringe International Award – an award which Smith previously won twice in 2015 & 2016 with his verse plays, Love Labours Won and MacDeth! respectively.
