BECOME A MEMBERStep into the vibrant heart of Belfast with Christina Reid’s moving drama, Tea in a China Cup, where memory, family, and tradition intertwine.
Set across three turbulent decades, from the Second World War to the height of the Troubles, we follow Beth's journey from adolescence to womanhood. Set in a working-class home, Beth reflects on the powerful women who shaped her life. Through her memories, we encounter a community marked by division, religion, politics, and class, yet held together by the familiar rituals of everyday life: shared stories, careful appearances, and the simple act of pouring tea.
With sharp humour and heartfelt honesty, Reid celebrates the resilience of women who kept families and communities together through times of uncertainty and sacrifice. Both tender and deeply affecting, Tea in a China Cup captures the strength, humour, and endurance of ordinary people living through extraordinary moments in history.
