On Saturday in London, after we purchased our theatre tickets, we stumbled upon
Cecil Court, a
perfect little street lined with book stores, just off
Charing Cross Road and a couple of blocks from the Leicester Square tube station. In a bin in front a fabulous little sheet music and book shop, I discovered a program from the 1987 London production of
Lettice and Lovage at the
Globe Theatre starring Dame Maggie Smith and Margaret Tyzack. The pefect souvenir for
this collector! Coincidentally on Monday, Dame Maggie was in the
London Evening Standard sharing her sad story about fearing a return to the stage.

perfection. what a find.
(I hope Dame Maggie bucks up and gets back to the stage.)
Thanks for sharing. I had no idea she was battling cancer.
I feel extremely fortunate to have seen her during her last stage outing in Lady from Dubuque. There are few actresses whose talent I admire as much as Dame Maggie's.
