About the Film

UK, Documentary, 84 Minutes, Unrated, 2018, Directed by Roger Michell

“Tea with the Dames” invites you to spend a weekend with British acting legends Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins, and Joan Plowright. The four renowned actresses are unfiltered and brimming with wit as they gossip about their long careers and friendship. “Tea with The Dames” is more than just reminiscing – the dames also share outrageously candid thoughts on everything from aging to love to fame.
