Reviews
- "Tracey Walker is absolutely delicious as Lettice, making the role her own. Richly poetic and very much larger than life, she seizes every one of Shaffer’s round and rolling lines, injecting them with absurd amounts of passion, constantly alert to any opportunity to fly higher … many laugh out loud moments”
- The Advertiser - “The University of Adelaide Theatre Guild’s production currently playing in Adelaide is a real delight … engaging, funny and enlightening as well as full of hope and optimism. A sheer delight from beginning to end … if you are a lover of history, language and basically good acting, then don’t miss the Theatre Guild’s production.”
- Stage Whispers - “It is always a pleasure to visit the Little Theatre to see a show presented by the University of Adelaide’s Theatre Guild. Lettice and Lovage is yet another delight. Director Angela Walker has assembled an excellent cast and without exception they do Shaffer’s play justice. Tracey Walker is superbly delightful as ’Miss Lettice Douffet‘ while Sharon Malujlo’s ‘Miss Charlotte Schoen’ provides a perfect foil.”
- Adelaide Theatre Guide - “It is a treat in the mould of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw … this is great fun for lovers of a good laugh as well as those who revel in the wonders of language …”
- Kryztoff Raw - “… Theatre Guild’s latest production is a faultless interpretation. This is due not only to Angela Short’s superbly detailed direction, but also to tremendous performances from Tracey Walker and Sharon Malujlo who carry the night and whose talents one marvels at. I cannot praise the actors highly enough.”
- John Ovenden - “The Theatre Guild has an excellent reputation for developing top amateur and professional theatre productions in Adelaide … Tracey Walker as ‘Lettice Douffet’, a flamboyant tour guide, and Sharon Malujlo as the arrogant bureaucrat are marvellous as they showcase their talents with life and humour. With its rich language it should be a delight to relish and savour, and the intimacy and ambiance of the Little Theatre is perfect for this production.”
- Weekend Notes - “… a very joyous and pleasant experience, offering both hilarious and tragic performances from Walker and Malujlo. The AUTG did not disappoint in bringing to the community another stellar production … couldn’t recommend it enough.”
