These roles are available for this production of LETTICE AND LOVAGE
Characters:
Lettice Douffet – A lady in middle life working as a tour guide in the most boring castle in all of England. She has a natural theatricality, exuberance and boldness and suppressing them is nearly impossible. Big is not big enough, but she's always authentic.
Lottie Schoen – A severe looking middle-aged woman who is direct, pragmatic and has no tolerance for fools. She must be strong enough to be a formidable foil for Lettice.
Mr. Bardolph – A middle-aged lawyer who is very dry and utterly professional.
Miss Framer – Miss Schoen's refined but nervous assistant, her age is unimportant.
Surly Man – He is surly. Enough said.
Tourists – A group of four or five visitors to Fustian House. The tourists appear in four scenes, and they are different in each of the scenes.
Opposites attract in this delectably fun comedy by the author of Amadeus. Join Miss Lettice Douffet and Miss Lotte Schoen for a series of hilarious capers as they discover a devilish friendship in their fight against mediocrity. As Lettice says, “Enlarge! Enliven! Enlighten!”

Fabled WOV, a seedy little New York radio station takes to the air at the beginning of World War II, this time to record a broadcast for the troops overseas. The narrative concerns the harassed producer whose leading singer is often drunk, the delivery boy who wants a chance in front of the mike, the second banana who dreams of singing a ballad, and the trumpet-playing sound effects man who chooses a fighter plane over Glenn Miller.
