🎭 Tonight we’re at Millgate Arts Centre in Delph for the Saddleworth Players’ latest production - Nell Gwynn 🍊

With a cast of 20, a live band, lively dances and plenty of songs, this show promises a vibrant night of theatre.

Set in 1660, the play follows the return of King Charles II and the revival of theatre after years of strict Puritan rule. At Drury Lane, a young woman steps into the spotlight — and the story takes off from there.

Can’t wait to see how it unfolds. Full review to follow!
