Charles II spent most of his wealth and his intellect on gaining<br />
and keeping the company of women, from the lowest sections<br />
of society such as the actress Nell Gwyn to the aristocratic<br />
Louise de Kerouaille. Some of Charles' women played their<br />
part in the affairs of state, colouring the way the nation was<br />
run. Don Jordan will take us inside Charles' palace, where we<br />
will meet court favourites, amusing confidants, advisors jockeying for political power,<br />
mistresses past and present as well as key figures in his inner circle such as his 'pimpmasters'<br />
and his personal pox doctor.<br />
(Please note that, due to popular demand, this is a repeat of the very successful evening<br />
