Synopsis

Lettice and Lovage

Lettice and Lovage $12.99

Peter Shaffer

Published by Samuel French Ltd

2 Male 3 Female

Lettice Duffet, an expert on Elizabethan cuisine and medieval weaponry, is an indefatigable enthusiast of history and the theatre

She is a tour guide at Fustian House one of the least stately and least interesting of Britain's stately homes

Lettice begins to embellish its historical past and her lecture gains theatricality and romance as it strays from the facts

Lotte Schon, an inspector from the Preservation Trust, is not impressed or entertained by these uninhibited history lessons

She fires Lettice, but gradually becomes fascinated by her unusual past, her romantic world view and her refusal to accept the mediocre and the second rate

The two women forge an alliance to awaken their fellow citizens to the dreariness of modern life
