Quote:
Playhouse Creations tells it all as it explores the first actresses allowed on stage in the bawdy times under the reign of Charles II in England. It was then when these females were admired by royal dukes and earls more for their beauty and after-show moonlighting than for their on stage talent. At the same time, this two-act play by April De Angelis, brightly surveys the novelty of seeing women on stage (after all, theatre was man’s domain), their battle for receiving equity pay, their competitiveness as well as their clandestine liaisons with upper-crust royalty, their sexual abuse – even their need for an abortion in order to continue the challenging life in the theatre.
