first performed in London in 1987 and trans fer red to Broadway in 1990 with its original stars, Maggie Smith and Margaret Tyzack. The unusual title refers to


the name of the character played by Dame Maggie, “L e tt it ia Douffet”, whose nickname is, fairly obviously, Lettice, and to the herb tea she loves to serve, made from the herb lovage. Lettice is employed as a


guide a t pretty boring ances­ tral homes and enhances the ra th e r tu rg id t ru th with some horror stories of death and derring-do, mainly loved by her audiences, b u t not approved of by her employ­ ers, represented by Ms Lotte


Schoen, the character origi­ nally played by Margaret Tyzack. Thin g s come to a head


when Lettice is sacked, but th a t leads to an unusual friendship between sworn opponents, two different characters, two views of the world, history and truth, yet somehow drawn together. RATS own “grand dames”


of the stage. Deb Groves and Susan Cronshaw, take the principal roles, with other players including John Royle and Jean Skilbeck. The play has been pro­


duced and directed by Robin Simmons, who over the years has moved the RATS on to new heights with his choice of plays. “Lettice and Lovage” will


be performed at Ribchester Parochial Hall on May 8th, 9th and 10th a t 7-45 p.m. with the licensed bar open from 7-15 p.m. To reserve tickets, phone
