Lettice & Lovage: research and images

  • This site includes some first-rate research material on Lettice & Lovage . . .
  • . . . as well as a page or two of director's comments and miscellaneous background stuff. Click at your peril; some of it's pretty absorbing.
  • Here is a link to some material I put together in preparation for the show. None of it has any lasting value, but why waste electrons?
  • Finally, the display below shows you tiny images; click on one to see a larger version with comments. Once you've selected an image you can loop around the series without returning to this page.

Kelly created the coat of arms for the throne . . . . . . while Maureen was creating the view across Rastridge Road, Earl's Court.
