Rediscovered Classic

Love All

BY DOROTHY L. SAYERS.

DIRECTED BY TOM LITTLER.

8 September -
8 October 2022

Overview

“Theatre life isn’t always a bed of roses.”

Lydia thought abandoning the West End to elope to Venice with a romantic novelist would be exciting. But Godfrey writes all day, his divorce is taking forever, and the Grand Canal smells ghastly. Back in London, a new female playwright is taking theatreland by storm, and Lydia resolves to bag herself the role of a lifetime. There’s just one snag: the mysterious playwright is Godfrey’s wife.

Hilariously tangled amidst the affairs of the Roaring Thirties in Venice and London, this dazzling comedy is as entertaining as Dorothy L. Sayers‘ best-selling detective novels featuring Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane. Our Artistic Director, Tom Littler, directs Love All’s first major revival.
