BECOME A MEMBERStep into the heart of Belfast, where memory, tradition, and family collide in Christina Reid’s powerful drama, Tea in a China Cup.
Spanning three turbulent decades, from World War II to the height of the Troubles, this poignant and humorous play tells the story of Beth, a Protestant working-class woman, as she revisits the lives of her mother, grandmother, and friends. Through her eyes, we witness the laughter and heartbreak of a community divided by religion, politics, and class, yet bound by the everyday rituals of survival: sharing stories, keeping up appearances and pouring tea.
With sharp wit, warmth, and raw honesty, Reid shines a light on the strength of women who held households together in times of conflict and sacrifice. At once funny, tender, and heartbreaking, Tea in a China Cup captures the endurance of everyday lives lived in extraordinary times.
