More pics from Lettice and Lovage.
Lettice Doufet spends most of her days living in the past. She believes the world is now filled with people who only aspire to the minimal: the Mere. In everything she does, she abides by her mother's watchwords (the three E's): enlarge, enliven, enlighten. This is her approach to nurturing her tourists who visit her in the dusty old Fustian House, and her enlargening the truth is what gets her in trouble. But then... an unlikely friendship forms with the very person who fires her and they aspire to combine their strengths in the end to find purpose in this over technological, lazy world.
One can't help but find tons of parallels to today, to the state of theatre, and the hope to inspire courage in the face of low economy, war, and dying spirits, shrunken souls and dim prosaic eyes. Really, Lettice's mantra is for all parents teachers and artists... friends and neighbors alike: enlarge, enliven, enlighten! Now if only I can walk in her shoes once the show is done, narrow as they may be.
