Margaret Tyzack, who originated the role of Lotte Schoen, also received a Tony for Best Featured Actress. Smith originated the role of Lettice in both the play’s 1987 debut at London’s Globe Theater and its subsequent 1990 Broadway run, winning the 1990 Tony Award for Best Actress in a play. “Lettice and Lovage” was written by English playwright Peter Shaffer, who crafted the role of Lettice Douffet specifically for Dame Maggie Smith. The Little Theatre of Alexandria play, which opened on Saturday, stars Patricia Nicklin as Lettice Douffet, a flamboyant historical tour guide with a bad habit of embellishing the truth, and Rachael Hubbard as Lotte Schoen, Douffet’s stringent superior. “Lettice and Lovage” is a comedic British satire with a surprising amount of emotion at its center, thanks to the quirky friendship that develops between its two leads.
