Subject:    A Buoyant Tale of Nell Gwynn Follows a Thoughtful Realization of King John

 

An enjoyable Nell Gwynn by Jessica Swale: I saw a performance of it at the Folger this afternoon, which included a recitation of Dryden's famous epilogue for Nell Gwynn at the end of the play (I quote it). So I wrote a blog-review, preceded by a long delayed other blog-review of the Folger's remarkable production of King John earlier this year. I admit I really understood King John for the first time. They are having quite a good year at the Folger!
