People behind the production
Lettice and Lovage is a witty British comedy-drama from playwright Peter Shaffer, best known for Equus and Amadeus. Premiering in 1987 in Bath, UK, the play quickly captured attention for its sharp storytelling, playful character dynamics, and theatrical storytelling that invites audiences into a world where wit meets nuance. The show later graced Broadway, earning critical acclaim and Tony Awards recognition, including Best Actress in a Play for Maggie Smith and Best Featured Actress for Margaret Tyzack in 1990. Licensed by Concord Theatricals, Lettice and Lovage remains a robust choice for regional theatres seeking intelligent, entertaining fare that rewards thoughtful performance and inventive staging.
