Miss B and Lady D Invite you To Tea

Miss B and Lady D Invite you To Tea:

As the audience sit down for tea and cake, Miss B and Lady D join them for a chat about this and about that. They tell a tale of the Mother, the Mothers Mother and the Daughter.

A beautifully scripted story inspired by the way women talk to each other about each other, the piece provokes thought on the day to day issues that affect women; for example the way women are controlled by the media to look a particular way. Commenting on female insecurities from being overweight to being a single mother.

The piece is an ongoing development, no performance has ever been or will ever be the same. There is a core structure which follows the story of ‘The Daughter’, the piece is adapted for performances depending on location and allocation of time.

‘Miss B and Lady D Invite You To Tea’ has been performed across a range of venues, most recently at Just Grand! Vintage Tearoom, Handpicked Hall, Leeds. In Summer 2013 it was performed at ‘Beacons festival’ and in a series of pop up garden performances.

The Characters from the show have also been involved in various events including Interplay’s Spit Nolan Go Kart Race, Leeds City Collage and an ongoing collaboration with The Marvellous Tea Dance Company. They can lend their unique and poetic style of commentary to either improvised chatter and conversation or create comedic scripts based on historical and academic research .

‘Funny, warm and razor sharp. Two women dressed in uptight 50s perfect housewife style chat and gossip their way through a thoroughly modern woman’s experience and, never deviating from their ghastly characters, take you ever so gently to some very dark places that make you gasp while you laugh. This is Feminism as open armed, inclusive, insightful FUN. Blooming brilliant.’
