‘Lettice and Lovage’ by Peter Shaffer

Roles: 3 women, 2 men + ensemble

Lettice Duffet, an expert on Elizabethan cuisine and medieval weaponry, is an indefatigable but daffy enthusiast of history and the theatre. As a tour guide at Fustian House, one of the least stately of London’s stately homes, she theatrically embellishes its historical past—causing her to butt heads with a fact-conscious official.

Peter Shaffer’s delightful comedy satire on English values.
