Pretty Witty Nell
by Ryan J W Smith

22 - 26 July 2025, 7.30 pm

Returning to Barons Court Theatre as an OFFIE award winner, Smith’s 7th verse play, Pretty, Witty Nell® is an original one-woman tragicomic history, written entirely in rhyming iambic pentameter, that tells the true story of Nell Gwynne, the famous actress and mistress of the wild British monarch, King Charles II.

The show is a celebration of both women on the stage; and of Nell, “a one-woman force of nature.” Smith asks, rhetorically, “what better way to celebrate the life of this absolutely amazing woman than by writing her a tribute in the style of theatre (rhyming iambic verse) that made her famous?” Pretty, Witty Nell® is indeed the first ever play about Nell Gwynne written in iambic verse.

The show lasts for 60 minutes with no interval.

The show is appropriate for all audiences.

The Weirdest Sisters
by Heather Frances Kelly

27 July 2025, 6.00 pm

Don’t rattle that egg encased in your skull, you know your worth. No one can take this from you. . .From us!

In their debut performance of The Weirdest Sisters, Swivel Eye Theatre Company are bringing you a piece of thrilling new writing by Heather Frances Kelly.

Three half-sisters move to London - away from the comfort of the countryside - in the hope of building a better life for themselves. As they begin to set up their new business a competitive neighbour tries to force them out, and their carefully planned life begins to unravel - leading them to face their truths and become what they always truly were. . .

 

The harder you work. The luckier you get. Right?

Three sisters. One fate.

Through a comedic & dark tale witness a modern retelling - doused in madness and myth - of the origin story to Shakespeare’s most iconic witches.

PUP PLAY: A QUEER PSEUDO-LECTURE (OF SORTS)

by Noah Alfred Pantano

12 - 16 August 7.30pm


Professor Handler David has been invited to teach London how to put their bitchboys into a submissive puppy headspace in this multi-award-winning and world-touring comedy (of sorts). Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo-Lecture (of sorts) is controversial, provocative, hilarious, and surprisingly introspective journey into queer fetish subculture featuring multimedia projections, gay sex, erotic punk musical numbers, homonormative puppets, audience participation, and more.

Pantano is infamous for his in-yer-face style of theatre that, while intense, prides itself on its radical queer empathy, unusual stories, and brutal honesty. The profits from this performance will be donated to a local London LGBTQ+ charity. Pup Play is sponsored by Mr.Riegillio, MessyPup, BoboBear, Sent With Pride, and Essex Startups.
