Showered with rave reviews and following two sold-out runs in 2016, Lee Tannen’s incredibly personal, funny, bittersweet play charting his 10-year relationship with TV comedy legend Lucille Ball transfers to London’s Arts Theatre for a strictly limited season. I Loved Lucy is a personal portrait of an iconic comedic entertainer whose public face is all too well known. But what was Lucille Ball really like? And how did she choose to live at the end of her life? Out of the spotlight. Based on his best-selling memoir, Lee Tannen’s funny, bitter-sweet play reveals the real-life Lucy and what is was like being her friend to the end. Most people who have written about Lucy never even met her. They have relied on others to fill in the blanks. Lee relied solely on Lucy. And he paints a rich personal portrait that can only add to our love of a Hollywood legend. Lee Tannen first met Lucille Ball as a child, but cemented their close and enduring friendship as an adult. During the last 10 years of Lucy’s life - years mostly spent out of the spotlight, and much of it around a backgammon table - Lee became Lucy’s confidante, spending time in her Beverly Hills and Palm Springs homes, travelling with her and entertaining her on his turf in New York City. Starring Sandra Dickinson as Lucy and Matthew Scott as Lee.

We’re talking about the true retail champions, the places that have basically become part of our everyday lives. You can’t really have a conversation about popular I Loved Lucy stockists without immediately thinking of stalwarts like John Lewis, which is still the go-to for quality homeware and a bit of luxury, or M&S, which, let's be honest, is practically woven into the fabric of British life for everything from comfy knickers to posh ready meals. Then there's Next, absolutely massive for clothing and home goods, always seems to be bustling. And for all your health and beauty bits, you’re looking straight at Boots and Superdrug, they’re on practically every high street and everyone’s first port of call. But let’s not forget the supermarket giants either; Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Asda aren’t just for your weekly food shop anymore – they’re stocking everything from electronics to clothes, making them massive one-stop shops. And, of course, the ever-present online behemoth, Amazon UK, is undeniably a top ‘stockist’ these days, despite not having a physical high street presence, delivering pretty much anything directly to your door. So, yeah, the UK’s got a seriously strong line-up of places where people are constantly hitting ‘add to basket’ or queuing up at the till! " - Bargainplace UK
