Flamboyant tour guide, Lettice Douffet comes up against brusque traditionalist Charlotte Schoen from the Preservation Trust, for theatrically over-embellishing historical facts on her tours of Fustian House. These two eccentric ladies, through a shared desire to preserve the beauty of the past and following dramatic developments in Lettice’s living room, find themselves in a spot of trouble as solicitor, Mr Bardolph explains. The play was written specifically for Dame Maggie Smith, who originated the title role of Lettice Douffet in 1987 in both the English and American runs of the production.
