From what I have read and hopefully hear (when I get this CD) this is a fabulous play.
Unfortunately, living in Scotland I can't go to the show ..... maybe one day it will come here.....

I had the EXTREME fortune of seening Kate Mulgrew preform this play in Baltimore, but not before buying the CD. Kate Mulgrew had always been compared to Kate Hepburn. Her voice is amazingly like Hepburns, as her command presence. The first act of this play is amazingly funny you will laugh like crazy. if u can't see the amazing play in person this is a must buy!
Tea at Five - A spectacularly good laugh October 9, 2004
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Kate Mulgrew is hilarious in this wonderful production TEA AT FIVE, featuring tales from the life of one of the 20th centuries most fascinating women.
The audience is treated to a sitting with Katharine Hepburn herself at the Hepburn family summer house at Fenwick, Conneticutt. What follows is just under two hours of reminscences, both contraversial and comical but altogether charming, and exceptionally well delivered with a tantalisingly sassy and well written script. Based heavily on Miss Hepburn's autobiography 'Me' - TEA AT FIVE offers a warm, respectful and truly satisfying tribute.
Kate Mulgrew as Katharine Hepburn takes this, her most contraversial role, in her stride. The first act, set in 1938, is magnificently funny and yet with an air of tradgedy and Mulgrew delivers with skill and Hepburn-like forwardness the tale of Hepburn's years as box office poison.
The second act is set forty years later and Kate Mulgrew outdoes herself - her impersonation of Kate Hepburn is nearly flawless - as the delightfully droll story of Hepburn's comeback is told in amidst stories of her romance with Spender Tracy.
Just which act is the funniest or the most moving depends on the individuals choice, but anyone with an ear for laughter and an eye for a good performance will just love this audio CD of Michael Lombardy's delightful play TEA AT FIVE.
EXCELLENT PIECE June 7, 2004

Kate Mulgrew is absolutely fabulous in this piece. Everything that is in the performance was backed up with at least 3 different references. This production was absolutely beautiful and transferred to CD fabulously. This is a great piece for any Mulgrew or Hepburn fan or fan of the theater!
 Very poor production February 20, 2004

This is a highly fictionalized account of some of the events of the life of Katharine Hepburn. Don't take any of it for fact. Mulgrew's imitation of Hepburn is very poor as well.
