About
A witty British comedy:
Tired of boring her tourists, a flamboyant tour guide Lettice Douffet, decides instead to embellish the history behind an English country house. She meets with great success, but ends up getting fired by her straitlaced employer, Lotte Schoen, for doing this. The play centres on the oddly charming relationship that develops afterwards between these two delightful but very different British ladies, as they struggle to face a threatening world of modern technology and increasing ugliness. It turns out that Lettice and Lotte are a gentle odd couple, united by a love of history, classical architecture and a tendency to dress up and laced with copious amounts of Elizabethan cordial (made from vodka and lovage – an Old English Tudor herb).
