Review #1:
Quote:
De Angelis gives a stark insight into the lives of these women, playing in a former bear pit and displayed in much the same way as the creatures before them. Alternately lauded and despised, the older Betterton is cast aside by the baying crowd for the young Gwyn and others prepared to bare legs and breasts to keep the audience happy and paying.
Always there, unseen but controlling the women’s lives, are the men - from the King, who takes Gwyn as his trollope, to the theatre management consigning Farley to the streets and death on discovering she is pregnant.
