L. is for Sayers: A Play in Five Acts

The many shades and nuances of Sayers’ life and writing lend themselves well to a play. One in particular stands out—her creation of that ever cheerful, indomitable romantic hero, Lord Peter Wimsey. Who more fitted to narrate and sing praise of her varied and distinctive accomplishments? The work is essentially a celebration of Sayers’ life and writing, but is also filled with good humor and flights of fancy and is intended to introduce her literary legacy to a whole new generation. Only the vehicle of drama has been added to this imaginative account to bring her work and values to light.
