Lettice & Lovage

The Las Vegas Little Theatre launches it’s 26th Season with Lettice & Lovage, a witty and highly entertaining comedy by Peter Shaffer (author of Equus and Amadeus). The script hilariously depicts the evolution of an unlikely friendship between two women, both of whom possess a passion for history. Miss Lettice Douffet is the boldly eccentric tour guide who invents outlandish fantasies in protest of all things she deems uninteresting or second-rate. Lotte Schoen is her uptight employer at London’s Preservation Trust who holds Lettice’s livelihood in her hands. The two come head-to-head when Lotte disapproves of the bizarre historical inaccuracies Lettice includes in the tour of Fustian House, a gloomy Tudor manor with a rather bland history. Eventually, the women realize their shared passion. Lotte gradually moves into Lettice’s world of theatrics and imaginary madness, though not without near-fatal results. Directed by Dr. Paul C Harris.
