Lettice and Lovage for Alzheimer’s Research UK: A Night of Stars on 24th March in the West End
1. Star-Studded Cast for a Noble Cause
For one night only, the West End will sparkle a bit brighter with the presence of British acting royalty Maureen Lipman, Tom Conti, and Anne Reid. They lead the cast in a special rehearsed reading of Peter Shaffer’s celebrated play “Lettice and Lovage.” This unique performance is not just about reviving a classic theatrical piece; it’s a noble endeavour to support Alzheimer’s Research UK, making it an evening of great entertainment for a great cause.
2. Peter Shaffer’s Legacy Lives On
The event is held with the gracious permission of the Sir Peter Shaffer Charitable Foundation, ensuring that the late playwright’s legacy continues to inspire and entertain audiences. Shaffer’s “Lettice and Lovage” is a comedic yet poignant exploration of eccentricity, preservation, and the unexpected friendships that can change our lives, themes that resonate as strongly now as they did at its premiere.
3. A Plot Filled with Wit and Heart
“Lettice and Lovage” tells the story of Lettice Douffet, a flamboyant tour guide, and her encounters with the stern Charlotte Schoen from the Preservation Trust. Their initial clash over Lettice’s embellished historical tours at Fustian House leads to a complex friendship, underpinned by a mutual desire to preserve beauty and history. The play is a testament to Shaffer’s skill in blending humour with depth, creating characters that are as memorable as they are endearing.
4. A Director and Producer Duo with Vision
Under the guidance of director Loveday Ingram and producer Miranda Hewitt, the performance is more than just a rehearsed reading; it’s a showcase of British theatre’s capability to bring together talent for a cause. Their vision for this one-night event promises to make it an unforgettable experience, highlighting the power of theatre to unite, entertain, and inspire.
