Synopsis
Lettice and Lovage
Published by Samuel French Ltd
2 Male 3 Female
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
