Pepys and the Playhouse
‘God forgive me, music and women I cannot but give way to’
Devised and presented by Colin Pinney
Lecture Hall
Entry: £5.00
In his own words Pepys gives a frank picture of the intrigues and affairs (including his own) of the 1660's, wrestling with his conscience - and sometimes his wife - as he follows the drama, on and offstage, of the Restoration playhouse in the age of plague, fire - and Nell Gwynn.
Colin Pinney played in weekly repertory before training at RADA and has directed
plays both here and in America. He has been a member of the BBC Radio Drama
Company and his television appearances include Jeeves and Wooster, The
Brittas Empire and The Bill. He was co-author of the English version
of Mazeppa, presented at the London Coliseum.
