Tea with the Dames is a unique celebration of the lives and careers of four of our most iconic actresses; Dame Eileen Atkins, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Joan Plowright and Dame Maggie Smith. All four have gone from being fledgling actresses in the 1950s to acting royalty. They’ve watched each other’s careers grow and bloom and have celebrated life’s ups and downs together.

Tea with the Dames invites you to spend time with these acting legends as they talk about their lives and their professional experiences across theatre, television and film.

Directed by Roger Michell (My Cousin Rachel, Notting Hill), the film also includes a range of astonishing archive material. Candid, funny, caustic, irreverent, poignant and utterly engrossing, this unmissable release is proof that there is truly nothing like a Dame.

“The laughter and pure hysteria are infectious in this wildly enjoyable film.”– The Guardian

” The rapport between this formidable quartet is palpable, and they all contribute some delightful stories.” – Daily Mail

“A torrent of mischief, gossip, swearing, recitations, singing and reminiscence.”– Times UK

60 years ago, seismic changes ripped through the cultural establishment and together with music and fashion, British Theatre underwent an explosion of creativity and talent, the impact of which was felt around the world and is still tangible today. It was a new Renaissance.

Playing a central role and pivotal to these creative and social shifts were a group of young actresses including Joan Plowright, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Eileen Atkins. All have received Damehoods in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the acting profession.

All have gone from fledgling actresses in the 1950s to national treasures and have become acting royalty. Beyond their professional lives, as friends they’ve watched each other’s careers grow and bloom, seen each other’s children grow up and have celebrated and commiserated life events together.

And all of them, as anyone can observe, are spectacularly comfortable in their own skin: larger than life characters whose personalities reflect the extraordinary experience of playing hundreds of characters and the great joy they’ve brought to the world. They are full of wit and wisdom with a lifetime of knowledge to share. Now they look back at key moments in their lives and careers and talk informally, sharing anecdotes, insights and memories with each other and with us.

TEA WITH THE DAMES invites you to spend time with these theatrical icons off screen as they talk about their lives now and then: their experience in theatre, TV and cinema and the memories that they have from when they were bright young things right up to the present day – now looking back with the wisdom of the years.

Tea With The Dames is in cinemas from June 7, 2018!
