In Cromwellian England, royalists commisson a barrow boy to carry a secret letter. Helped by Nell Gwynn, he succeeds after encounters with a castle ghost and custard pies
In wintry 17th century London, a poor barrow boy chances upon lordly protection from Oliver Cromwell’s bullying soldiers.
The grateful wretch is entrusted by his new master with the delivery of a vital letter from the exiled King Charles II in France.
He befriends tavern owner Nell Gwynne and sets off on his mission, but the Roundheads are in hot pursuit...
Reviews (1) A pantomime crossed with an Aldwych farce in a period setting. It failed at the time but now seems a brave try, with nice judgment all round. (Halliwell’s)
