Sharyn Henry plays Irene Ruddock in Lady of Letters and Toby Chittenden plays Graham in A Chip In The Sugar for Elysium Theatre’s, Alan Bennett Evening.
BY ARRANGEMENT WITH ORiGiN TM THEATRICAL, ON BEHALF OF SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD.
Directed and acted by Sharyn Henry & Toby Chittenden
Irene Ruddock (Lady of Letters) is a single, middle-aged woman, who observes the world from her window and writes frequent letters to anyone and everyone, to remedy the social ills she sees around her. She recognises deterioration in her mental health, raising this and other suspicions with her doctor, who prescribes tablets to help her 'manage' her worries. Irene’s skewed interpretation of what she sees ultimately lands her in trouble.
Graham Whittaker (A Chip In The Sugar) finds life becoming complicated as his mother, Vera, with whom he still lives, reunites with an old flame, Frank Turnbull. Graham becomes increasingly disturbed as Frank’s outspoken, right wing opinions, conflict with Graham's muddled liberalism and he becomes an ever-increasing influence over Vera.
