The Peckham Frolic or Nell Gwyn: A Comedy, In Three Acts is a play written by Edward Jerningham and first published in 1799. The play is set in 17th century England and follows the story of Nell Gwyn, a famous actress and mistress of King Charles II. The play is a comedy that satirizes the social and political conventions of the time, and features a cast of colorful characters, including a group of bawdy tavern-goers, a group of courtiers, and of course, the King himself. The play is known for its witty dialogue, lively characters, and irreverent take on the period. Overall, The Peckham Frolic is a humorous and entertaining look at life in 17th century England, and a must-read for fans of historical fiction and comedy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
