Tea is a play that takes place over four decades as three wealthy, famous women and one revolutionary man meet up for cat fights, gossip, and everything else that comes with Earl Grey.
For centuries tea has been the drink of choice for elite white women. From the Queens of yesterday to the Movie Star, Princess, and President's Widow we meet in 1968 Hollywood, tea has always been more than just a beverage. Tea is an opportunity to catch up with and gang up on our nearest and dearest frienemies.
Though the characters of the play would have you believe it's only about tea, you'll soon learn that tea is rarely, if ever, that simple.
